It seems the .227 is the problem.
As suggested in some answer above I am using a mirror for my systems.
Starting with 2009-24 I found on my mirror :
24.1 - 24.252
25.1 - 25.236
26.1 - 26.254
27.1 - 27.183
28.1 - 28.242 -> no .227! (missing between 2009-07-19 04:21 and 07:11)
29.1 - 29.249 -> no .227! (missing between 2009-07-25 00:22 and 06:54)
30.1 - 30.237 -> no .227! (missing between 2009-08-02 08:22 and 09:43)

When I did a wget on these files I received a 404 error.
