 I would recommend editing the configuration file under =/etc/apt-proxy/= to add a nz server as first choice as it can be slow getting updates from the US at times. 
  
 If you have problems with this then there is also apt-cacher that you can use.

+!Problem: apt-proxy stalls fetching headers  
+Your clients connect to the proxy fine but don't seem to get any data. They sit there forever waiting for headers:  
+<verbatim>  
+# apt-get update  
+0% [Waiting for headers]  
+</verbatim>  
+  
+In your =/etc/apt-proxy/apt-proxy-v2.conf= file, try disabling HTTP pipelining. Uncomment the line if necessary and set the value to 1:  
+<verbatim>  
+disable_pipelining=1  
+</verbatim>  
+It has been enabled by default since version 1.9.34 but still seems to be broken in the version currently in etch (1.9.35-0.3)
