How can I update only newly added repositories?

Question

When I run sudo apt-get update it wastes time updating PPAs that are already up to date. Is there a command that does the same with more efficiency?

In the following remove tick for all and make tick for the PPA you want and run sudo apt-get update

It doesn't really download anything already up to date, it just checks whether the PPA it's actually up to date: you can try it for yourself by running sudo apt-get update twice after a while that it hasn't been run; you'll see that at the first run some updates will be downloaded, while at the second run they won't.
