If you have info on what people dowload, you could delete things that people aren't fetching. apt falls-back to other archives if the first one fails, assuming the same package is listed in one of the pther archives in the sources.list. I'm not sure how difficult this would be. If you also regenerate the Package file then they will simply become invisible to users. This could get confusing.
