i haven't seen this before ... are you trying with debian-installer from
sarge, or something else?

if using debpartial-mirror 0.2.11, it won't re-download everything- it
should check the existing packages against the mirror and only download
files that don't match. i tend to use it in combination with a squid
proxy, which can speed things up a bit (though it never caches as much
as i wish it would).
also, there is a --no-do-mirror commandline option that you can use that
if you don't add new packages to the list(s) of packages to include on
the CD, or if you have a complete local mirror already.
