Could be wrong but without a whole bunch of tweaking this doesn't seem to work with Feisty, so I tried a more straight forward way - simply copy the package files into /var/cache/apt/archives/ ! I Installed Feisty and fiddled so much I broke it & fixed it several times. Then I installed it again, same disk, new partition, clean install. But I didn't want to download the updates again ("broad"band in S.A. is a p of beyond belief!), so I simply copied all the packages from the /var/cache/apt/archives/ on the first install to /var/cache/apt/archives/ on the second. NB: I had to do so as root or the copy/paste wasn't possible. (To log in as root, System>Administration>Users and Groups; select root, click Properties, type & confirm a password, presto! Log out, log in as root, do your magic!) Good luck! Ubuntu Feisty Fawn install update from repository already downloaded:

I think Synaptic has a dialog for this. If the apt-cacher machine is down, its easy to switch back to direct access. Rather than edit your sources.list, you can add

DSL here is several meabytes per second. Your family's telco must have pushed the DSL limit when they allowed them to have DSL there. I’d love to know how fast your internet connection is.
