If none of the debmirror and similar work well, consider ftpsync.
It's extremely reliable, runs as one process and *just works* for
me and several others. It's written in shell script. It also provides
verbose login.

One config file will mirror a complete Debian mirror using rsync.
Because it's rsync based, you can rerun it if you need to so you can
run it several times to build up a mirror over the course of a week
to start with, for example.

I ran mine from a cron job four times a day - updates are now pushed
to me from a main Debian mirror.

I wrote this up for Planet Debian at:

and

[I now only mirror Debian and Ubuntu - notably, it is recommended that you do
NOT mirror debian-security - having single known mirrors for these on the
Internet prevents you from accidentally mirroring out of date packages].

Hope this helps
