Hi,

In my great attempts to minimise BW usage, I'd like to download only
src packages via debmirror, which doesn't seem to allow for that, or
does it? Else, how can I succeed in this goal of mine?

Hi,

I would suggest building a apt-mirror. High bandwidth at first, but once
completed minimal usage from there own, as you only have to grab the
updates.

Great how to on http://www.howtoforge.com.
