@zpletan, touching them stops them from being downloaded. You should only touch the files that haven't changed since you downloaded them. By appropriate files I'm speaking of the files that were frozen at the release of the release you are running (those are the ones giving people trouble until the bug is fixed). You shouldn't use the touch command on any others, or against Quantal--its main and universe repos are active.
In this case touching a file just says it was current at the time you run the touch command (it makes the last modification time the current time).
