The local Contents-amd64.gz (downloaded using apt-mirror), does not match with the Contents-amd64.gz on...

I have been trying to set up a local repository for Ubuntu 18.04, using apache2 and apt-mirror.



I noted that the size of /ubuntu/dists/bionic*/Contents-amd64.gz does not match with the corresponding file on in.archive.ubuntu.com.



My mirror.list file is as follows:



############# config ##################
#
# set base_path /var/spool/apt-mirror
#
# set mirror_path $base_path/mirror
# set skel_path $base_path/skel
# set var_path $base_path/var
# set cleanscript $var_path/clean.sh
# set defaultarch <running host architecture>
# set postmirror_script $var_path/postmirror.sh
# set run_postmirror 0
set nthreads 20
set _tilde 0
#
############# end config ##############

deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse

clean http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu


For instance, the downloaded ubuntu/dists/bionic/Contents-amd64.gz is 11.9 MB, and the Archive Manager says there's a large 3.7GB file inside it, which cannot be extracted - seems to be a case of corruption. However, the one on the in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/Contents-amd64.gz is 37.7 MB and extracts successfully.



Even after I delete the downloaded file, and run sudo apt-mirror, the downloaded file is the same as before. Why is this the case?



Downloaded ubuntu/dists/bionic/ has the following:



ubuntu/dists/bionic/
- main/
- multiverse/
- restricted/
- universe/
- Contents-amd64.gz
- InRelease
- Release
- Release.gpg


I understand that I have not configured apt-mirror to download i386, but shouldn't the Contents-amd64.gz be the same?
