I have several reports indicating apt-cacher-ng is compatible with apt-cacher config files and is faster/leaner than apt-cacher.

I favor using apt-cacher* instead of squid as squid is a general purpose proxy tool as opposed to apt-cacher which is specifically designed and optimized for packages.

I am attaching apt-cacher-ng documentation which provides more information on it.
