Hi Matthew,

The situation reloading the lists would fix this in is when a new
version of the package you are trying to install has been released, so
the old one has been removed from the mirrors but is still referenced in
your local package list.  This causes software center (or any package
manager) to try to download the old, non-existent file, resulting in the
404.  Reloading the package list will get the information about the new
package version and try to download that instead, which solves the 404.

This is more likely to happen during a beta as well, since so many
packages are being updated so often.
