If you have multiple machines, it's worth running apt-cacher-ng on the one that's usually running (if wheezy, use the backports version). Then add a line like Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.N:3142/";; to /etc/apt/apt.conf on each machine (where N is the address of your caching host). Now packages will be downloaded only once; the others will use the cache. On repeating an installation, replying http://192.168.1.N:3142/ to the question "HTTP proxy:" fills in /etc/apt/apt.conf automatically.
