No reason at all, I've been doing it for years without a single
problem.

The benefit is that everything is centralised. With an HTTP proxy, you
still have to download from the server to each client. The only drawback
that I experience is that if several packages use the same, large source
file, as so many of the KDE packages do, you are repeatedly pulling the
same file over the network, which is a little slower.
