Another little-advertised alternative, which has worked here for ages, is apt-cacher . deb http://apt-cacher.yki.ttu.ee/apt-cacher/ftp.ee.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib This is pointing at an Estonian mirror. Adapt for your situation. The host apt-cacher.yki.ttu.ee needs apache2 and apt-cacher packages installed. Should even work without the apache. There is also an apt-cacher-ng which should be even better, but I have not tried it. Toomas Tamm
