Update multiple machines at home

Update multiple machines at home I have multiple machines at home. All of them are running Windows 7 x64. Due to limited bandwidth and slow connection, I want to make them download updates just once and apply to the rest of them. What's the easiest way to accomplish that without resorting to Windows Server specific solutions (WSUS)?

You may be able to simply install a caching proxy server on one machine and point both computers at it.

"What about a temporary proxy server? You can run IPCop from a USB or live CD, and it has a plugin specifically to cache software updates. You could run it just whenever you need to update your PCs.

Although given that it's a very small and efficient piece of software and you have a slow connection, it would benefit you to have it running all the time, IMHO (in a VM even, in case you don't have a spare machine)."
