Use any of the relevant packages for doing that, such as apt-mirror,
apt-proxy or apt-cacher-ng .

There's an ancient tutorial on howtoforge that might still be relevant,
if you need a tutorial (reading the docs that come with the package is
better, IMO!).  http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror
