Description: Caching proxy for Debian package and source files
17
Apt-cacher performs caching of files requested by apt-get (or other clients
18
such as aptitude, synaptic). It is most useful for local area networks with
19
slow internet uplink or as a method for reducing multiple large downloads.

Apt-cacher performs caching of files requested by apt-get (or other APT clients
17
such as aptitude or synaptic). Apt-cacher can also proxy Debian Bugs SOAP
18
requests for apt-listbugs. It is most useful for local area networks with slow
19
internet uplink or as a method for reducing multiple large downloads.

When a package is requested, the cache checks whether it already has the
22
requested version, in which case it sends the package to the user immediately.
23
If not, it downloads the package while streaming it to the user at the same
24
time. A local copy is then kept for use by other users.
