I have experienced the same. Unfortunately there is currently no mirror
of the image download service.

"latest" is just a symlink to the most recent daily build. All builds
are currently built against the current state of deb.debian.org, and
there's no support for building against a specific repository state
(e.g. from snapshot.debian.org)

There is not at the moment, but I'm working on a change to add exactly
this.
