I use 'approx' (with Debian but it also works with Ubuntu). This creates an entry in '/etc/inetd.conf' for a server running at 9999. You can now use the following lines (you must replace testing with the name of your distro --- like jaunty or karmic) in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://localhost:9999/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb http://localhost:9999/security testing/updates main contrib non-free Finally, you can take all the debs that you have already downloaded at import them with 'approx-import /path/to/downloaded/debs/*deb' After this, you will not only get the debs you already have locally but any updates will also be added to /var/cache/approx in a directory structure like the one on the mirrors.
