When I run apt-get update with a limited download bandwidth, I see intermittent errors. I run that from cron-apt, i.e. I see essentially almost every
day that at least one or two files did not download properly (out of approx. 20 for jessie, sid, and experimental).

Do you mean with config option limit and/or limit_global set? What values are they set to?

Could you enable debugging and send the output of /var/log/apt-cacher/error.log
relating to one to the 404 responses.

Thanks.
