It appears that this bug is not dependent on the server, but on the protocol/scheme used. I think you can avoid the problem by using http://ftp.belnet.be/debian instead. What appears to be happening is that apt is escaping '~' to '%7e', following an old RFC that says '~' is not a safe character in URIs, and the FTP backend of apt-proxy is failing to convert this back to '~'. I'll investigate further and see if I can fix it properly.
