Did it happen at the same time?  Any clues as to what happened?

Try deleting/moving these two:

current_mirror.2003-10-27T02:08:36+02:00.data
mirror_metadata.2003-10-28T10:22:33+02:00.snapshot.gz

You may want to uncompress mirror_metata and make sure that it is in
fact corrupted.  Also make sure that

> mirror_metadata.2003-10-27T02:08:36+02:00.snapshot.gz

is OK.
