Have you considered a local, partial mirror? A 64G thumbdrive doesn't cost much, it'd hold a lot of .debs, the local mirror can be added at the top of your apt sources file, and cron could run the update at night. There are scripts readily available to do this. The script I use is pretty old, but it keeps my mirror up to date, and it's a good sport about being stopped and starting again where it left off. -- Glenn English
