Updating multiple PC's with slow internet

Due to it taking hours to update Manjaro on one PC due to my slow internet,
I was wondering if there is a way to copy data downloaded to the one system and use it to update my other 3 systems?
I do realize there may be a few files different due to the difference between the systems, but things like the kernel, browsers, and other large files that will be the same would be a time saver.

Thanks for any ideas.

It all depends on how your computers are networked and how you want to use things and such.

It could be roughly as simple as ssh’ing into each machine and reading from a specific local cache.

Heres a bunch of info on that:

Even more info using squid here:
