This can be scripted quite nicely with cron and 'wget'.
As an example, I have this cron job :
# every day, do an apt-get update
2 2 * * * root apt-get update > /dev/null && apt-get --download-only
--assume-yes upgrade > /dev/null
(note the --download-only on that!)

This feature requires support on the server as well. (gtm support
pause/resume, I assume wget does also if the proper arguments are
given to it)

There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him :
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
