Description: Caching proxy for distribution of software packages
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.
