Koji builders have never downloaded packages via XMLRPC.  All
downloading is done by mock/yum, via http (previously nfs).

You could potentially use squid locally to cache downloaded packages.
You'd configure pkgurl in koji.conf to point to your local squid
instance at "http://localhost:8080/koji/packages" or something similar,
and configure squid to pull from the actual http location
where /mnt/koji/packages is being served.
