As you know, every time you update your repositories in Ubuntu 12.04, the universe repository downloads all of it's contents in your computer, whether they have been changed from the last time you update them or not. And in a country like mine where Internet connection is too slow, it will cause some problems.
Is there a way to restrict downloading of the contents to the times when they really changed like the other repositories?
I don't want to disable the universe repository, I just want it to treat like other repos and don't get download every time I "apt-get update"
