Can you try to flush your package cache?
And retry.

Couldn't the exception be handled with an automated or manual action via a  
more appropriated dialog like:

Error can't find EOCD blah blah
The package appear to be corrupted, maybe due to a communication error
What would you like to do ?
- flush the cache and retry
- abort operation

Yes, that would be nice. We have already seen this problem FAR so many  
times.

This is what you see when squeaksource returns an error- I'm down page, and  
monticello tries to read that page as a zip file.

If you encounter it again, wait a bit, then try upgrading again.

Yes it would be nice. Any code going in that direction is welcomed
