It's pretty consistent and occurs every time I try "aptitude update" and on the same files, as far as I can tell. All started about 2 weeks ago, before that it had been working fine for years.

If I change the mirror, say use DE instead of US, I also get hash sum mismatch error in addition to 404 while running "aptitude update":
