+====== apt-mirror - your local Debian mirror ======
+Having your local Debian mirror can be handy. Especially if you do
+install Debian via netboot. Thanks to ''apt-mirror'' it's an easy
+task to do.
+First of all, you need ''apt-mirror'':
+<code>
+# apt-get install apt-mirror
+</code>
+Then, you have to edit ''/etc/apt/mirror.list'' and set:
+  * what
+  * which mirror to use as a source
+  * where to store mirrored data or you can use default ''/var/spool/apt-mirror/''
+  * adjust number of threads based on power of your hardware
+<code>
+set nthreads 10
+set _tilde 0
+deb http://debian.ignum.cz/debian/ wheezy main
+deb http://debian.ignum.cz/debian/ wheezy-updates main
+deb-amd64 http://debian.ignum.cz/debian/ wheezy main
+# in case you're going to use your local mirror for preseeding ;;; ugly, but works
+deb http://debian.ignum.cz/debian/ dists/wheezy/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64
+</code>
+Also, make sure you have enough space available, eg. Wheezy in this configuration takes approximately 41GB.
+After you're set, run ''# apt-mirror ;''. It will take some time and you should see
+similar output as shown below. Sadly, my mirror is up-to-date. It will take some time,
+so I recommend you to use ''screen''.

+Congratulations, you have your own local Debian mirror. The very last thing
+is to keep your local mirror up-to-date automatically. Copy-pasted below is
+an cron example from documentation which is sufficient.
+<code>
