The recommendation for mirroring debian repositories is generally to use something like apt-mirror or apt-cacher-ng. Is there a reason you can't do this?
These work by checking the index (e.g. http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages) and pulling the packages. You can't walk a HTTP repository, HTTP isn't smart like that.
