Another little-advertised alternative, which has worked here for ages,
is apt-cacher .

deb http://apt-cacher.yki.ttu.ee/apt-cacher/ftp.ee.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib

This is pointing at an Estonian mirror. Adapt for your situation. The
host apt-cacher.yki.ttu.ee needs apache2 and apt-cacher packages
installed. Should even work without the apache.

There is also an apt-cacher-ng which should be even better, but I have
not tried it.
