Hey friends,

Why are we downloading this?  Wouldn't the repository be redundant as soon as an update gets pushed through?

Or is there a way to keep this updated?

Where did you get the torrents from? Have you checked is it genuine?

If you feel like keeping a local repository by dedicating a 35gb of space in your system, it would be very convenient for you to install application or dependencies. All you need to do is run an rsyncing update script in your system periodically from an authentic server. So need to worry about the internet connection for installing apps...Hurray!

Thanks Arjun.  An local copy of the repository does seem like a good idea, however, we seem to be downloading iso files here.  I can't say they are so easily updatable. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)  Tools like apt-mirror on Debian based systems can download the repository and even update it very easily.  It is a lot more easier than downloading iso files each time the repository is updated.  So I was wondering why people were downloading them instead of using apt-mirror.

I have, since then, spoken to a few friends and they do consider DVDs to be much more useful in distributing applications, than a usb hard disk.  So I did a rethink of my ideas.  I am currently looking for a way to group together packages that are related, so that the DVDs can be created out of a local repository.  Till then, I guess the dvds are the way to go.

tools  like rsync use timestamps to update the files. the syntax is given below.

rsync -P rsync://rsync.server.com/path/to/file destination/folder   
#Only get diffs. Do multiple times for troublesome downloads or more feasible is to put it in a script.

Thanks Arjun.  This is now in a script, which is in my crontab, though for another file.
