I think that it caches the downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt/archives Also I don't think that old packages get deleted automatically. I have been taking back-up of 'archive' and then simply copy those .deb files in the archive of other PCs and simply update without downloading any stuff. I am also putting link to the screenshot of my archive folder where you can see all the old and new packages cached. http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfhnbc4z_90d56k3g74 I suggest you take back-up of archive folder for usage on other PCs or after formatting my own machine. I don't know if that would help. Swapnil Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.
