If you don't want to download updates one at a time, then you may use wget to download all the updates at once.  Select a local mirror from http://www.bluewhite64.com. (Get bluewhite64 link )

1.Open a terminal and "su" to root.

2.To download only the updates run the following command substituting my pseudo path with the path for your local mirror. Remember, Bluewhite64 updates are kept in the following directory, /patches/packages/ on all mirrors.

#wget ftp://localmirrors/pathTobluewhite64/bluewhite64/bluewhite64/patches/packages/*.tgz

I choosed Brazil's ftp;

#wget ftp://ftp.scw.net.br/pub/bluewhite64/bluewhite64-12.2/patches/packages/*.tgz

3. Now that all the updates have been downloaded you can upgrade all your packages at once with the following command:

# upgradepkg *.tgz

4. You're finished.  Just make a note of the packages you've updated.  That way you won't have to unnecessarily update the same package again.
