It's not silly; I was in hurry and didn't recognize that you can
save several dozen megabytes of traffic more if you synchronize
the whole /var/cache/apt/ and /var/lib/apt/ onto that machine.
Flat rate 100+ MBps here in Russia is sort of too gorgeous
though I do know how 2400 baud feels with per-minute phone too...
