me too. Apt-proxy has a very unpleasant tendency to simply hang every now and then, and has almost been declared deprecated. > approx iirc requires to changes /etc/apt/sources list, squid always Yes.

Actually, squid has its own slew of problems. Eg. I've yet to see a machine where Squid runs reliably under anything resembling a "reasonable load", instead of falling over frequently, and it can be difficult to have the features work that you want in such a setting. Eg. Lenny's version of Squid doesn't work for me on Lenny. I'm currently test-driving apt-cacher-ng, which has it's own bag of problems so far, but seems to be lighter and so far more reliable than apt-proxy.
