Hi guys,

The main task is to reduce download traffic.  However this is achieved is not a
matter.  The apt-cacher looked good conceptually but having a read of the bugs
and some of them not being categorised for a considerable period of time I
reckon it just might be little stalled.

I may pick up apt-proxy.  But I thought there were some issues with that one as
well... 

Since I have only 2 machines I might also just copy the folder in question !!

Thanks for your thoughts - they are appreciated.
