This re-copy caused us to mark the files as unavailable on our mirrors (since they are treated as new files). During this time we served up some redirects to MirrorBrain, a backup mechanism we crafted earlier to push complete serving failures for OOo 3.3 back to MirrorBrain (actually never used until today). Since 3.4 files were not available on MirrorBrain - due to us not having populated the 3.4.0 release on MirrorBrain - redirected downloads didn't get served eventually. We removed this code, and instead display an error page when this condition arises, so that end-users will be asked to report to SourceForge directly. For future releases we'll exclude prior AOO releases when copying new-release files so we don't need to worry about tweaked timestamps. We will take additional measures to monitor selected files to confirm they are serving properly (with pager notification upon fault). Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
