I used to manually edit my sources.list as described in the tutorial, but I found it to be a pain. Whenever I traveled outside of Uganda I would have to go back in and global replace all the cache prefixes again. Another option is to edit (or create if it doesn't exist) /etc/apt/apt.conf and add the line: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://aptcache.mountbatten.net:3142";; That saves you from editing all the urls in your sources.list and you can just comment it out with a hash whenever you don't want to use it. The only caveat is that if you have non-ubuntu repositories (ppa's, partner repositories, etc.) you can't use this method as the apt-cache won't serve those to you.
