list, Thanks to all that replied, but what should I put in the sources.list file? This is the main thing that is holding me back now... Machine is only available from a local network (ie no fqdn) will this matter at all? hostname is hydrogen, and all the packages on the system are from 2.2r0

Hi, If you are going to mirror once a week then just set up a cron job and use the rsync method, have a look here http://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror. You can then set up your apt sources list to include local and external mirrors and it should use your mirror first [put it first in the list]
