Arnaudus proposed the following answer:
See e,.g, the discussion there
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133803 .

What is happening is that servers are overloaded, in particular when a
new release comes in.

Why it is happening is because there are probably not enough servers and
not enough bandwidth, both cost a lot of money.

A possibility is to setup your distribution to download packages from a
mirror server, and not from the official server.
