Keep downloading (adding only newer rpm packages) the latest rpm update
packages into a directory of your system (This is to be your local
repository), this can be achived by using wget, and then use yum to
point to that local directory to do the update for you automatically.
I am at work and my machine is set to do that at home, so can not give
you details, you can use google to find the use of wget (key word "wget
manual" and "wget commands"), for using yum to update from your local
repository, go to fedoranews.org and you will find the articles.
