apt-cacher-ng | Caching proxy for distribution of software packages | Mehr ...
Apt-Cacher NG is yet another implementation of a HTTP proxy for software packages, primarily targeted at Debian/Ubuntu packages but may also be used with others types. . It follows similar principles as others (Apt-Cacher, Apt-Proxy, Approx) and serves the same purpose: a central machine presents the proxy for a local network and clients configure their APT setup to download through it. Apt-Cacher keeps a copy of all useful data that has been passed through it and when a similar request appears, the old copy of the data is delivered without redownloading it from the Debian mirrors. . Apt-Cacher is more than a simple rewrite of Apt-Cacher. It was redesigned from scratch and is written in C++ with main focus on maximizing throughput with low requirements on system resources.
