The server has rebooted a couple of times in the past week (I needed to
upgrade it, too!) so it's possible that you were just happened to hit the
window when it was inaccessible.  Aside from that, I haven't seen any
connectivity problems -- but the internet being as unreliable as it is,
it's entirely possible.

FWIW, no files are installed until after everything is fetched, so if the
downloading fails, you can always try again.
