I use the following script to mirror CentOS updates for my servers at
work ... it should be possible to modify it to work with fedora with
some tweaking. One thing I like about wget is that you can specify a
maximum bandwidth so as to not swamp your internet connection.
The one thing you will have to check is the "--cut-dirs=8" this will
vary depending on your source repository layout.
