Currently we allow to cache downloaded RPMs with allow_pkg_cache in
autoqa.conf. That uses our own code in util.py:download().
Tim was talking about using file proxy and it now seems to me as a far
better approach. It can cache more files (like yum metadata, ISO files,
etc). The proxy can run on the same computer or on some local-network
computer. Several computers can share the same proxy. We don't have to
care about storing the files and cleaning up the directories. It means
less code. It's transparent for us.
The task now is to play with some proxy, try whether it works, implement
some support for AutoQA (if required), and document the process of setting
it up (probably in [

here]).
