it really is much more appropriate for everyone involved if you just
use a shared cache, and respectably consider the truth that if you're
not a seed, you're a leech.  you say gnome=too much traffic, then wtf
would you want to sync:

gnome + kde + <insert> + <insert> + <insert> + <insert> + <insert> +
<insert> + <insert> + <insert> + ... + ...

every single time they are updated, when you're not even going to use
it 90% of it?  _that_ sounds like "too much traffic" to me.

use what you need; no more, no less.  anything else is greedy and wasteful.
