Hello,
I'd like to mirror/download the Debian repository of Trinity to my local
machine.
This because I want to create my own Debian AMD64/i386 CD/DVD just as there
are (already) Kubuntu based ones (in
http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/cdimages/kubuntu/maverick/)
Is there an easy way to do this (FTP server)?
I tried to search for a FAQ (RTFM?) on this topic on this website (and on
the web) but sofar the answers are less then satisfying.
Many thanks in advance for any advice on this!

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).
