Hmm, eixa skeftei na to kanw ayto kapote (toylaxiston 10 Debian
mhxanhmata trigyrw) alla katelhksa oti einai mallon overkill na exei
kaneis private mirror oloy toy i386 & sparc (kai ta xiliades paketa
poy den exei egkatesthmena). Telika ayto poy me bolepse htan to
apt-proxy. Apo to output toy apt-cache show apt-proxy:

 apt-proxy automatically builds a Debian HTTP mirror based
 on requests which pass through the proxy.  It's great for
 multiple Debian machines on the same network with a slower
 internet link.

(to teleytaio den isxyei sthn periptwsh moy, apla lypamai ligo
to bandwidth twn mirrors :>)
