I switched from apt-proxy to apt-cacher-ng on Sid at home a few
months ago and it's been great. I am, unfortunately, not having the
best of luck backporting it to Etch for work (sunk a couple hours
into it Friday afternoon before heading home, but haven't picked it
back up again yet this morning). It seems to compile and run fine on
Etch, but it doesn't behave as advertised (503 errors and fails to
download/cache any requested files). I may just cut my losses and
run it on a Lenny machine instead.
