Open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)

sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf

This opens a file in gedit (the text editor)

Add this line at the bottom of the file, save and exit

APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";

Or if you want a different size change 100000000 to what you want
Job done. You may want to test it try this in a terminal

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
