You're overengineering this one. Try checking out apt-proxy, or use HTTP sources, the same sources on all hosts, and use your network or your ISP's caching proxy. If a caching proxy is not available to you, I strongly suggest setting one up for yourself as it will substantially reduce your internet link's saturation and improve browsing speed, particularly on slower sites employing stylesheets like Wikipedia. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
