Sounds a bit fishy. Robert did upgrade the branch to packs, which means you
need at least 0.92 to read it.

There are a few possibilities:

1) Make sure you can get to:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/.bzr/branch/format

However, if you are getting far enough to get to *.pack, then bzr should have
been able to get to it.

2) I'm guessing it is complaining because of a partial range request on that
file. We fixed a small bug about this in bzr.dev (so that we issue fewer ranges).

I'm very surprised to see it be 503: Service Unavailable.
But it may be that a proxy is falling over because of a complicated range
request, and giving 503 rather than a better error code.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. The guy who tests our http stuff is also named
Vincent, so I just thought he was posting a "look what I found" message.
