[squid-users] Caching http google deb files

[Jok Thuau]

This is sort of off-topic, but have you considered using a deb repo
mirroring software?
(it would mean that you need to update your clients to point to that rather
than google, but that's not really difficult).
software like aptly (aptly.info) are really good about this (though a
little hard to get going in the first place). or a deb-caching proxy
(apt-cacher-ng? squid-deb-proxy?)
