I also got this problem when I was upgrading to Karmic yesterday. It caused the upgrade process to more or less be aborted, although the rest of the upgrade seems to have gone fine.
I tried adding 216.34.181.59 downloads.sourceforge.net 212.219.56.167 kent.dl.sourceforge.net 213.203.218.122 mesh.dl.sourceforge.net 208.122.28.29 voxel.dl.sourceforge.net to my /etc/hosts, but the result is still the same; it cycles through the servers and times out on all of them, then gives up with a checksum mismatch: Connecting to surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net|32.1.6.32|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
