It depends: if you've got a lot of machines, you could do worse than ftpsync
 - which, despite it's name, uses mostly rsync - and Apache.

https://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror.el.html tells you to use ftpsync or
debmirror

See, for example, my blog on Planet Debian from a while ago for fairly 
detailed instructions:

[ftpsync setup]

and 

http://flosslinuxblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/rebuilding-mirror-fedora-epel-mirroring.html

[which details the Apache setup]

I don't exclude architectures or distributions - so I have a full Debian
mirror with everything on (apart from anything served only by security.d.o).

If you _only_ need amd64 and _only_ need the current distribution, for
example, your mirror will be very significantly smaller.

Hope this helps.
