[Tfug] Weird apt-get issue.

I am attempting to upgrade my version of KDE on my Woody box using the
kde.org address for the current stable version (3.1.4) in my sources
list.

For some reason, I could get only some of the files, which I used
apt-get dist-upgrade to install, but there are about 70 files which
weren't fetched the first time I ran it.

Now, when I attempt to dist-upgrade, I get the following error:

Failed to fetch
http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.4/Debian/pool/main/k/kdelibs/kdelibs-data_3.1.4-0woody1_all.deb
Size mismatch

I tried just downloading this deb and using dpkg -b to install it, but
that didn't work.

How can I force the remaining 3.1.4 debs to download and install? I
suspect I now have a mixture of 3.1.2 and 3.1.4 packages on my system.
