I don't believe it's related. Your's appears to specifically involve a safebrowsing update that doesn't exist on either of those two mirrors, so apparently the main database updates are working OK?

Note that both the IP addresses used above are also on the Ignoring list.

This can be cured by deleting mirrors.dat, but may not solve your problem if that update isn't on any of them.
