Unless there's some caching going on somewhere (e.g. cccache, or some
such), successive tries on the same source ought to get the same result.

Whenever I've had such problems it has always turned out to be either a
hardware problem or a filesystem problem.

I'd recommend rebooting to single user mode and running fsck on all your
file systems, as well as running any hardware diagnostics you may have.

Recompiling a kernel is also sometimes suggested as a good stress test for
your system.

Of course you might want to try that too.
