I use the Debian 'apt-move' package to build and maintain my local partial 
mirrors as I have a small render farm and don't want to have to repeatedly 
download everything for each individual system update.

It's a command-line tool but I found it very easy to configure and use.

Briefly, it will allow you to build local (optionally partial) mirrors from 
the .debs you download when you update the first system (provided that you 
don't delete the .debs after downloading and installing them on that first 
system).
