This is so not true. If you installed all your machines, without using any

Ok, fair enough. I don't need a complete mirror anyway, just the x86
stuff, and just for stable.
Shared APT, squid, etc are all more banddith efficient solutions.
How would I implement shared apt? That sounds like what I'd like to do,
but I've never even heard of it.

I suggest you install squid on one of your boxes and point apt-get

a couple machines to get packages faster.
Well, the 10GB isn't doing anything right now anyway, so it wouldn't be a
waste.
The Squid cache is an interesting idea too, but I wouldn't proxy FTP, but I
never apt via HTTP.
Thanks for all the suggestions. If there's some suggested reading, please
point me in the general direction!
