[ubuntu-in] Setting up a local Ubuntu repository mirror

[Anurag Jain]

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to set a local Ubuntu repository mirror here in my college
server. Since many students are turning up towards using Linux and specially
Ubuntu is pretty famous among them, it takes incurs lots of time and
overhead to download packages from the main server. I my college we access
Internet via proxy and but the college website(and local ftp) hosted there
can be accessed directly. So if its is possible to create a mirror on that
server which will download and update the packages on its own, we'd be able
to use that as mirror and fetch the packages at a faster rate.

I've gone through couple of blogs for creating local mirrors but not sure if
they'll surely work. So I need help regarding how to proceed with it along
with the specifications and requirements.

Thanks and regards.
