Hi,
this hasn't been reported to me before.
The error message does not make much sense to me. It says that a certificate issued by Thawte was also self-signed. This may just have been a misconfiguration on their web server.
If that occurs to you again, feel free to open a bug report on our Bugzilla.

Visiting the URL's individually (with the oinkcode) results in the error message: ["File not found by name 'snortrules-snapshot-2960.tar.gz'"] These entries appear to be hard coded on line 265 of ids.cgi (/srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/ids.cgi)
Updating with "Snort/VRT GPLv2 Community Rules" and "Emergingtrheats.net Community Rules" appear to work (I was not able to test the "Subscription" set since I do not have a subscription.
