I understand this. apt-cacher was launched on same machine as apt-get.. So as far as I understand, packages that are in cache will be downloaded fastly. Packages that are not in cache will be downloaded with same speed as limit= in apt-cacher config file. This is just most easy way to test it. I have just tried to download big package that isn't in cache.. and all my bandwidth was taken by apt-cacher. PS. as for me, apt-cacher should NOT limit bandwidth between itself and apt-get/aptitude, since local traffic/bandwidth assumed as unlimited. -- WBR, Dmitry
