Don't worry, the most likely reason for this is a little code limitation
which deserves a fix, sooner or later.

Long version: these files don't exist on regular mirrors (only their
compressed version), they emerge from an older compessed version and the
daily patches and are kept there for later patching (thus no http
header). Unfortunatelly they are kept in the regular storage space and
cause some confusion, I should move them to a dedicated location.

Right. Well, that's inspiring... maybe there should be a way to suppress
error reports for events of such kinds, at least for some days but
before the files would be lost. Maybe for the half of the ExTreshold
config value... I will put it on the todo list for the next version.

Eduard.
