What is of concern are these downloads to the package list :-
Get: 11 http://ftp.debian.org jessie/main Translation-en [3,851 kB]
Get: 27 http://ftp.debian.org stable/main Sources [5,949 kB]
Get: 35 http://ftp.debian.org stable/main Translation-en [3,851 kB]
As can be seen it's translation and Sources which are to blame here.
Couldn't they have pdiffs like everybody else.
Looking forward for a fix.
