You are right, but if you can find correct mirrors, and after that
choose which one is faster, all can be done better.

There is a possibility to write a plugin that is like the command yum
check-update, but that return a list of files that are to be downloaded?

I worked a little on that because I prefere rsync instead of wget, but I
don't want to download all the repos and all files in the repos.
With this list I can write a little script that download with rsync all
is necessary, and after launch a yum update starting from disks instead
of network
