If you don't mind running (and debugging) experimental code..
Has a particularly hard time with round-robin mirrors not being in-sync,
or (I think) occationally a mirror not supporting rsync access at all.
Also has trouble with over-returning to the client. FE will return 5MB
of a 200k deb.. And it requires rsync access to the repository.
Despite all this, I did find it working a bit better on my dialup
connection than squid was.
Oh yeah, you'll want to give it a big cache, too. It doesn't seem to be
able to clean its own cache properly.
