What does this download? I would think that it would download a file with a 
list of files and their version number. Right? Then when you run apt-get 
upgrade it would compare that list with a list of files on your system and 
download those files that differ. BUT NO!  I run apt-get update and it 
downloads a bunch of files that I am not sure what they contain. And then 
apt-get upgrade downloads the files again (because I don't know what the 
first file it downloaded was). So what exactly does apt-get update give you?
