I've used apt-mirror -
http://apt-mirror.sourceforge.net/
- specifically the version included with Debian in my case.
Specifiy the repositories you want in /etc/apt/mirror.list config file
Note that by default it downloads packages for the architecture it's running on (e.g. i386 or amd64 on a desktop machine) so as you'll want armel packages, start the line "deb-armel" rather than just "deb". For example, to mirror the fremantle sdk use:
deb-armel
http://repository.maemo.org/
fremantle sdk/free sdk/non-free tools/free tools/non-free
[Addendum]: I'd also change "set nthreads 20" to "set nthreads 1" in the config file so it only downloads one file at a time - more considerate.
