There is a debian-live email list that might give you quicker answers.
I'll tell you how I've handled rebuilds in the past: I use apt-cacher-ng. So all of my *.deb downloads are cached, whether for live-build or not. I forget the lb option for specifying your apt cache, but you can always do this in your terminal:
export http_proxy="http://myproxy:3142";
It's not too late to set up apt-cacher-ng. There is a method for importing already-downloaded debs into the cache.
