Agreed.  I wanted to mention that it was replaced by 'apt-cacher',
which worked great in Sarge but in Etch seems to be suffering from
featuritis, but is still better than apt-proxy.  I am told that many
people are having good luck using 'approx' but I have yet to try it.

Of course using a mirror gives the best performance and I always set
up a mirror when desiring better reliability.
