I have four computers on a domestic network.

Is there a way of saving a JRE update so that I don't have to use
up my cap by downloading it four times.

I'd like to download it once, and then distribute the file to
each of the other three computers and install it on each computer
separately.

Is this possible ? I've search the web but cannot find any help
with this question.

Doesn’t your package manager have support for this

Find yourself an old PC with perhaps a 40 gig HDD and 2 nics.

Better than that, using IPCop with Update Accellerator will cache the
following:

* Adobe
* Apple
* Avast
* Linux (.deb and .rpm)
* Microsoft
* Symantec
* Trend Micro

TKs for both replies.

It is true I didn't read one screen properly or I would have seen the
option for manual downloads.

I'll investigate IPCop and Updat Accelerator shortly.

1) Install new Linux OS.

2) Remove the crap Java package that comes with it, even if it is the
Sun one.

3) Download and install the Sun Java tarball.

Cheers,

Cliff

I think the overall bandwidth savings will pay off for you. I have
downloaded 5 gigs of Microsoft and shared out 8 Gigs of it. I have a
couple of friends who are on Dial come over to do updates, and then there
are 2 XP computers here.
