Hello,
it isn't exactly what you want, but you can install apt-proxy, which
uses rsync to get the archives from the "backend" (=debian mirrors) and
then apt-get update from your local apt-proxy source - look at the
apt-proxy documentation for more info.
There's only one caveat: I recommend you using the rsync version from
stable (potato) as i had some compatibility problems to the mirrors with
newer rsync versions. I also found something about this problem on the
web, but don't remember where.
Hope it helps,
Daniel

Hello,
I apt-get update daily via a dial-up line. I noticed that rsyncing an
uncompressed Packages file is up to 10x faster than getting the whole
compressed one. Using
rsync -Plptv ftp.uk.debian.org::debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-
i386/Packages
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages
does work, but can I do the same via apt-get?
Please cc to me, I'm not subscribed.
Thanks in advance,
