That has been bugging me as well when I switched from ftp.debian.org to some other mirror during the hick-ups at ftp.debian.org. It would be really nice if we could store files dates in UTC (GMT) rather than in localtime. If we can't persuade mirror(1) (haven't checked man page or code), maybe someone could hack a script that "touch"es files with the info from the debian/ls-laR file.
