apt-cacher: Caching proxy for Debian package and source files

 Apt-cacher performs caching of files requested by apt-get (or other APT clients
 such as aptitude or synaptic). Apt-cacher can also proxy Debian Bugs SOAP
 requests for apt-listbugs. It is most useful for local area networks with slow
 internet uplink or as a method for reducing multiple large downloads.
 .
 When a file or package is requested, the cache checks whether it already has
 the requested version, in which case it sends the package to the user
 immediately. If not, it downloads the package while streaming it to the user
 at the same time. A local copy is then kept for use by other users.
 .
 Apt-cacher has been optimized for best utilization of network bandwidth and
 efficiency even on slow low-memory servers. Multiple ways of installation are
 possible: as a stand-alone HTTP proxy, as a daemon executed by inetd or as a
 CGI program (deprecated). Client machines are configured by changing APT's
 proxy configuration or modification of access URLs in sources.list.
 .
 The package includes utilities to clean the cache (removing obsolete package
 files), generate usage reports and import existing package files. Optional
 features include a file checksum verification framework, IPv6 support, FTP and
 HTTPS (proxying only) support as well as the simultaneous caching of different
 repositories (e.g Debian and Ubuntu).
 .
 Apt-cacher can be used as a replacement for apt-proxy, with no need to modify
 client's /etc/apt/sources.list files (and even reusing its config and cached
 data), or as an alternative to approx.
