Andreas,
Paulo's statement is correct.  Not all mirrors are always up-to-date.
They are synchronized with CTAN at different times.

The solution is to select a particular mirror explicitly:

  tlmgr option repository <your favourite mirror>

You'll find a list of mirrors at

  http://dante.ctan.org/mirmon

It's recommended to select a mirror nearby.  BTW, I can confirm that
all mirrors in Germany are reliable and fast.

Regards,
  Reinhard
