I've put together a script to handle mirroring repositories locally. http://www.stearns.org/yum-pull/ has the script and a howto document on how to set it all up. Best of luck! Cheers,

Bill,
I'm trying to use your yum-pull script and think I have it mostly set up. Trying to do FC4 right now. I will also add CentOS and Suse at some point.
I still think you are better off with the rsync approach. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that rsync provides much better throughput than yum plus compression. Have you looked at http://tqmcube.com/repo.php ?
BTW, extras is now using repoview (which I recommend). You can get a look at it here: http://fedoraproject.org/extras/4/i386/repodata/
