If you have multiple machines, it's worth running apt-cacher-ng on
the one that's usually running (if wheezy, use the backports version).
Then add a line like
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.N:3142/";;
to /etc/apt/apt.conf on each machine (where N is the address of your
caching host). Now packages will be downloaded only once; the others
will use the cache.
On repeating an installation, replying http://192.168.1.N:3142/ to
the question "HTTP proxy:" fills in /etc/apt/apt.conf automatically.
Cheers,
David.
