I can reproduce this message by adding many https repositories to
sources.list.  For example, with these sources (which are public, so you
can try this yourself):

deb https://debathena.mit.edu/apt precise debathena
deb-src https://debathena.mit.edu/apt precise debathena
deb https://debathena.mit.edu/apt quantal debathena
deb-src https://debathena.mit.edu/apt quantal debathena
deb https://debathena.mit.edu/apt raring debathena
deb-src https://debathena.mit.edu/apt raring debathena
deb https://debathena.mit.edu/apt saucy debathena
deb-src https://debathena.mit.edu/apt saucy debathena
deb https://debathena.mit.edu/apt trusty debathena
deb-src https://debathena.mit.edu/apt trusty debathena
deb https://debathena.mit.edu/apt utopic debathena
deb-src https://debathena.mit.edu/apt utopic debathena
deb https://debathena.mit.edu/apt vivid debathena
deb-src https://debathena.mit.edu/apt vivid debathena

I get:

$ sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/debathena*
$ sudo apt-get update
…
W: Size of file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/debathena.mit.edu_apt_dists_quantal_debathena_source_Sources.bz2 is not what the server reported 31194 16209

This does not happen with the same repositories over plain http.

Title:
  "bizarre error - file size is not what the server reported" with
  private ppa

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Triaged
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My natty desktop machine has been happily subscribed to a private ppa
  for a long time.  When I updated it today (for the first time in a
  month) it showed this error:

  
  Fetched 262 MB in 3min 47s (1,150 kB/s)                                        
  Failed to fetch https://mbp:ELIDED-PASSWORD@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/canonical-ux/walled-garden/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-font-family-sources/ttf-ubuntu-font-family_0.71.2-0ubuntu5+phasedbeta3~natty_all.deb Size mismatch
  W: Bizarre Error - File size is not what the server reported 1728827 1712444
  E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

  It's possible this is some local error but it seems unlikely any
  network problem could interfere with a file served over https.
