Has anyone managed to get a local mirror working ?? If so, can you let

Yes. Using Rsync, there are instructions for doing so on the Mandrakelinux download site. The mirror size totally depends on what you mirror. You can mirror the Official files, Community files, Cooker files, ISO Files, and Updates separately. There is also the optional Contrib section, PLF repository, and a few others.
If you want pretty much everything, plan on about 16GB.
Proxad doesn't support rsync.
I have a local mirror and I use the follwing in a shell script:
rsync -auvLP --delete mirrors.usc.edu::mandrakelinux/devel/community/i586/ /home/brant/mandrake/community/i586/
This grabs everything (main, contrib, updates [are contained in main]) for Community Edition.
It works well for me. Very fast.
