apt-get: reducing amount of data downloaded



When I do an "apt-get update", I have to download this 1.5MB file if
something has changed. This takes a fair while as I'm on a modem.

Would it be possible to split this file up into multiple files, or
store them in an uncompressed format and use rsync instead?

That should reduce the 1.5MB to a couple of K.

Thanks.
