This happens from time to time when a mirror is out of sync.

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public

  How can this occur? I don't think there are TCP/IP errors for my
  connection, at least in the past I did not have them.

  Is there a technical reason for that on the mirror server (e.g. during
  an update of the files)? Can you check for corruption/compromization
  on the server? I'm really concerned about this.

  Or do I have to think about a "man-in-the-middle" problem considering
  my connection/router?

  As far as I can say, the problem appears and disappers from time to
  time. I cannot reproduce it relyably.
