I'm downloading packages with sudo apt-mirror. What should I do next to set packages being installed from the downloaded packages? I can't even see where are the packages downloaded by default. I looked at /var/cache/apt/archives but it seems there aren't downloaded to this place.

Can I interrupt apt-mirror command and continue tommorrow where it was interrupted?

thank you

yes, you can interrupt it ( apt-mirror ). Packages are saved on location specified in config file, /etc/apt/mirror.list. Then, to use files downloaded, you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list ( or possibly add new file to sources.list.d directory ), i found nice how to on this blog :
