You should create the file /etc/apt/apt.conf file and add this line in it:

APT::Cache-Limit 10485760;

Experiment with the size: 15728640 or 20971520 or even higher if needed (but be careful not to hit the swap, that will really slow you down).
You should also comment out un-needed repositories. To do this open your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add a # at the beginning of those lines for repositories that you don't need to use (usually non official ones or obsolete).

Remember to open both these file with sudo or gksu.
