Thanks, I'll see if this does what I want.
I need a local mirror on my external HD so I can easily install system
without the reliance on a Internet connection.

Also, I'm somewhat looking to offer a possible Debian mirror to the
community. I just need some research regarding how does configuration
work on my rented rack server.

Thanks
