apt-dupdate -- Smaller Sources Files
I wasn't going to mention this but I'm on dial-up this week and so dog slow
down-loading has become an issue for me and this tool might be useful for
people in a similar position. The short version is that the
packages/Sources file is quite big, down-loading it each day can actually be
quite a big hit in terms of bandwidth, apt-dupdate plans to get around
this using bzipped diffs rather than re-sending the whole thing. For further
details have a look at the apt-dupdate announcement
