Looks like you found a problem.  From apt-proxy.log:

[19707 16:49:18]: wget --timeout=10 --timestamping --no-host-directories
--tries=5 --no-directories -P /var/cache/apt-proxy/mplater/ -O /dev/null

It seems that the backend does some HTTP redirection which wget does not
like, and apt-proxy thinks the directory unstable does not exist.

I've found a workaround for now.

apt-proxy.conf:
add_backend /mplayer/ $APT_PROXY_CACHE/mplayer/ \
        http://mplayer.nmeos.net/

sources.list:
deb http://APTPROXY:9999/mplayer unstable/

Then, create the unstable directory manually:

mkdir -p /var/cache/apt-proxy/mplayer/unstable
chown -R aptproxy /var/cache/apt-proxy/mplayer

That way, apt-proxy will not attempt to check if the unstable directory name
is valid, and it should work.

HTH,
Chris
