I see you are using "localhost", so does that mean the mirrors are directly
on your offline machine? In that case you could just as well use the "file"
method which as a sideeffect should speed up apt operations slightly as apt
wont "download" the files from the repository, but use the files directly.

Thanks, looks like Pure-FTPd behaves in some unexpected way, but I don't
know enough about FTP to really judge that and given its on its (slow)
way out we might survive with leaving this open until someone comes
along with more experience who fixes it – or closes it at the time ftp
is gone.
