After the first fix attempt the European server synchronized at around 
07:00 GMT in half an hour. This made the "Hash sum mismatch" error go 
away. However, because of a configuration error the European server 
didn't see the top level directory and shifted everything one level up. 
That means that the update software can't find files where it expects 
them to be (403 message).

Right after the server was done synchronizing the configuration error 
was fixed. After a few hours it started synchronizing again and the 
European server's status page [1] is telling me that it hasn't finished yet.

I don't know why the first sync took only half an hour and the current 
one is taking over 7 hours. But the fact that it *is* synchronizing is a 
good sign at least.
