Hello

With live-helper, in the configuration file "common", you have a parameter :

# $LH_CACHE: control if downloaded packages should be cached
# (Default: enabled)
LH_CACHE="enabled"

So downloaded package stay on your hard drive.
So when you create an image, if it need a package already in the cache, it
will not download it again !!
Only if a new version exist or you need a new package.

Another solution is to keep your own copy of the Debian archive somewhere
on your local network.

My brother has a cronjob that updates a local copy when he should be
sleeping. The binary i386 archive changes about 200-300Mb a day
apparently, but the initial download is obviously rather steep.
