The repo at

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/repodata/

is probably what you are looking for, for Fedora 8.

For updates (released since Fedora 8 GA), the repo at

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/i386/repodata/

can be used.

I hope I'm answering the question you are asking, ;-)
