Are you sure it works in 3.9 and not in 3.8? It typically appears when
the loader downloads something that isn't an mcz - like a 404 for
example. But the idea was that these issues should gradually go away now
since we have a server cache that kicks in and we have SHA checksums.

So I really would like to know more details, what packages?
