Matt does indeed have a Debian mirror - although I can't plead for what state it is in, as I haven't done a successful install of it for a while, but it was last seen in his Office/Kitchen propped up against a wall, running rsync once a day.
The total mirror size for x86 Debian (free software only) was around 20GB, this will still takes days to mirror on a typical consumer broadband connection.
My experience of the various "proxy" tools is that they are troublesome - - either stick with squid and configure it to cache big files (which can be troublesome in itself) or go with a proper mirror would be my advice.
You can always ask Matt nicely.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
