I believe it usually happens when not entire file is downloaded in first try 
and when fetch tries the second time (perhaps from another mirror) this 
difference confuses it. What usually helps is doing 'make distclean' which 
removes partially downloaded file and then trying again. I'm not completely 
sure though :)
