What is the best method to download everything under the ../Everything .../Fedora from one of the mirrors wget? waht options
Need the F9 stuff for testing.
I have local mirrors of f9 final, f9 updates and f9 livna. I use lftp to get updates to the repos (though f9 final doesn't change) and I modify the repo definitions in /etc/yum.repos.d to point to the local mirror. For example to get the i386 f9 final repo you can use the following command: lftp -e 'mirror --delete-first --parallel=3 -c -e -v pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/ /spare/fd' 209.132.176.220
Just replace 209.132.176.220 with an appropiate mirror near you.
The corresponding repo file has been changed to: [fedora] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch failovermethod=priority #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Ever... #mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch... baseurl=file:///spare/fd/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY

If you are getting both i386 and x86_64, there is some overlap and you probably want to use rsync so that you only get hardlinked files once.
The size of the f9 i386 repo is a bit over 13GB. The 9GB estimate was close one or two releases ago.
