An error 400 is a low-level error, indicating corrupt http data.

Do you get this error when trying to visit websites?
Do you get this error if you try to install software from a liveCD?

If either of these are true, then there may be an issue with your
connection. I don't know what else to try at this point, as I've never
actually run into this issue before. I hope this helps out though.
