Size of precise repository

[Xubun]

Hi!!
I want to download the 12.04 repository to my HDD in order to have an offline Ubuntu repo. I checked at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
and the whole precise repository
http://archive.ubuntu.com/icons/folder.gifprecise-backports/ (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-backports/)30-Nov-2012 05:55 - http://archive.ubuntu.com/icons/folder.gifprecise-proposed/ (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-proposed/)03-Dec-2012 05:37 - http://archive.ubuntu.com/icons/folder.gifprecise-security/ (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-security/)30-Nov-2012 05:55 - http://archive.ubuntu.com/icons/folder.gifprecise-updates/ (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/)30-Nov-2012 05:55 - http://archive.ubuntu.com/icons/folder.gifprecise/ (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/)is only ~10 GB. Is this correct? A colleague told me that it should be around 50 GB ...
Is this the correct link?
Thanks

54.7 GiB will be downloaded into archive.
So it's 54.7 GiB just for the 64-bit repository without sources.

A good page describing how to set up a local repository:
