I've seen the same thing with plain old apt-get against an apt-proxy server on
my near-dialup (384/192) DSL. I think this has to do with apt-proxy filling
it's cache, and then delivering to the client from that cache. It's a bit,
well, "lumpy." But, as you say, in the end, it comes to about the same speed as
going direct to the mirror.

And, of course, the second, third, etc. updates are at LAN speed!!!

p.s. - V1.x did the same thing.
