I use it mainly for caching packages and doing offline installs from the repository. When I use archive.ubuntu.com, it only does partial saves of the files. I haven't had a chance to debug more thoroughly.

Steps to replicate:

Set archives to archive.ubuntu.com
Turn OFF offline-mode
Prime cache by installing few packages
Turn ON offline-mode
Try to install the same packages on a different instance

It's alleviated when you use us.archive.ubuntu.com so it's not a blocker.

Hope this helps.
