Hi ! It depends how you fetch your packages. Ftp or http ? You have thus to open either the 80(http) or 21(ftp) port as well. Maybe you can also limit this to your mirror only, and not to everybody.
Note: If you log the packets you drop, you can take a look on the logs, and you'll see why your connexion is blocked... Hoping this helps you.
