Answer 1

I can't reproduce this.
$ REPO=http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable
$ curl -s $REPO/InRelease | grep binary-amd64 | head -n3
4bfa1d4da7e0d639f5682d1bcffbf671 4409 non-free/binary-amd64/Packages
dfefc4034b6b440d9a9e3c3ebe361536 1433 non-free/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
a6c45b9be906f8c19f07640f4087febd 194 non-free/binary-amd64/Release

What you describe can probably happen, but it is much more likely that it is a CDN problem and there is a broken copy of Packages.gz out there somewhere. To test the CDN theory, replace repository with repository-origin.
