We discussed this topic some time ago. The conclusion was that
this can be done easiest with a simple WebCache like squid or
apache with mod_proxy and didn't need to be built into the
build script.
Another possibility is to create a mirror of the FTP server
(internally we use rsync) and use the -f/-r options to direct
the build script to the copy.
