I guess the point is not too important. I found a way to get what I needed so I can study build scripts. I just need to organize everything I downloaded.
One of the nice attributes of traditional computers -- they just do what they are told and offer no opinion about whether the method is efficient or smart. If only I had a 21st century internet connection....
11Mbit is not bad. Usually people do not understand that the server limits the bandwith and it does not require that much bandwith to have apt-get working. I have here 70Mbit 50down/20up but download is max @2Mbit (for debian packages)
Keep in mind that it is better to use apt-get install from the internet than dpkg -i from local system, because apt-get does verification of the package. I think indeed apt-mirror is the best or wget (recursive)
