Seems to work again, but really…

why can't this use a local cache as fallback in the first place
why do I end up with a screwed state where some packages look as "installed" even though they are not installed at all
why do I end up with a screwed state where some packages look as "installed" even though they have half of the files missing
and worse yet, reinstall all packages feature does not do anything any more

heper

and why is the glass half empty :P

It wasn't down. There was at least one file per minute fetched every minute of every hour that day. Upwards of 2000 files fetched successfully within the hour of that timestamp.
