COMMENTS

apt-mirror uses /etc/apt/mirror.list as a configuration file. By default it is tuned to official Debian or Ubuntu mirrors. Change it for your needs.

After you setup the configuration file you may run as root:

     # su - apt-mirror -c apt-mirror

Or uncomment line in /etc/cron.d/apt-mirror to enable daily mirror updates.
