I keep adding atleast one repository per day.! I like new stuff and to personalise my Ubuntu.

But now evertime I add a repository,the apt cache needs to be updated and its almost a 10-15min update everyday.! Moreover its a lot data consuming.

Is there any way or workaround so that the repository is updated in the apt-cache without updating other stuff?

Also,sometimes i do not wish to install some updates at the given point of time due to my bandwidth limitations.But then if i have to add a repository,the updates are all installed in the sudo apt-get update command..

Would like any help.

The bandwidth limit is actually a major issue for me.!

Thanx :)
