apt-cacher-ng
just updated from 11.04 to 12.04, fresh install
installed apt-cacher-ng and notice something strange about it
its always downloading index file (Packages.gz) even though the file exist on the apt-cacher-ng's cache,
so this is what exactly happened :
on ubuntu 10.10 & 11.04
- apt-cacher-ng installed & configured on my laptop, then i reload & install some packages
- after that i configure my friend's laptop with apt-cacher-ng proxy (192.168.1.1:3142), reloading repository was blazingly fast, finished in a second without using my Internet connection (checked on system monitor, total Received just 15kB)
on ubuntu 11.10 & 12.04
- apt-cacher-ng installed & configured on my laptop, then i reload & install some packages
- after that i configure my friend's laptop with apt-cacher-ng proxy (192.168.1.1:3142), reloading repository was really slow!, apt-cacher-ng redownload the index file from internet
