But I'll try the trick of rsyncing /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade, first. This is apparently where dnf system-upgrade drops all of the downloaded packages.
Yes, this works great. I've done it many times. I also have a small proxy server I wrote myself specifically for the purpose of caching from yum/dnf. The benefit that has over something like squid is that it ignores the host name and path and only matches on the filename when sending a file from the cache. It's a bit of a hack, but it saves a huge amount of bandwidth and only downloads the set of files that are actually being used.
