well, i wanted to have the latest updates available within 24 hours, so
(on my home server) i wrote a quickie script, apt-mirror. it's not
complete yet, but it'll work for you.
if you guy shave any questions, let me know.

That's a damn shame. Anybody know how/where to get a reliable

here's something I put together using rsync. It's not very pretty -
but it works fine for my needs. I just have it run every night.
I use an exclude file because I don't like receiving the kernel via
this method. All messages go to STDOUT - which is fine because I have
this run via a cron job.
Hope it can be of use to you :-)

whoops - I wiped the UPDDIR=/your/updates/dir variable on posting. This
is because rsync likes a 'to' path. This should be in place of cd
/your/update/path. (I've mangled this script so many times to do
different things it kinda got lost in translation %-))
