again I had hash sum mismatches.
Interestingly, it is always the following source which fails:
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com trusty-updates/main Translation-en

replacing "de" by "us" which helped at work last time solved the problem
at home now.
Note: I had to replace the host only for this single source. Since I did
this at work, I didn't have any problems anymore. At home I'll keep an
eye on this and report back if the trouble reappears.

I have observed some packet loss again to 141.30.13.20 but since it is
always one for the Translation-en packages I'd assume that something
with the language environment (which might affect encoding of the
packages?) is not working properly. Either the system-wide language or
the web server providing the updates might run with a wrong $LANG
setting or so...
And the packet loss is then caused by too many clients which try to
reconnect and fetch the package again and again.

Does this sound reasonable?
