Why would you want to download 'everything'? To fill up space on your hard drive? ;-)
Seriously. That would be in the neighborhood of 9+ gigs of packages. Why not just install what you want to test?

I'm sure, too, that we were warned off about downloading everything. I can't remember the details, but I think it went along the lines of 'some things will conflict, and some applications will have library problems'. Of course, that may be mis-remembered, but it was certainly a strong warning off.

Basically at the moment I know it's not *usb* or *mouse* is my problem, everything else I need to test one package at a time :)
The upside is I may eventually be able to use them as a local repo,

Use rsync. It's the most reliable way of downloading *everything* (and keeping it updated). Check out http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring#How_can_someone_make_...

Try rsync from one of the mirrors. We use this to keep local copies of all release images!

Well that is your choice of course.
But do you really need all of the office suites? All of GNOME? Or KDE? Or Apache? All of the language packages? ;-)
And Anne is correct here. Fedora has said before that some things just don't play together well.
If you are looking for a local repo of packages that you can install on several machines why not just set yum to keep the package(s) that you download and use them on the other machines instead of downloading all of these packages? Most of which you will not use anyway.

Honestly don't need everything, but have a number of different Fedora boxes all F9 (excl rawhides)
I would need X,Gnome, and the fedora base.
Show me how tp yum local.repo that on my centos5x server, and I'll probably go that way. el google wasn't much help as it's talking about using dvd images etc.. whebn doing locals.

As for keeping the downloaded packages?
change keepcache=0 to keepcache=1 in the yum.conf file

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
[fedora-debuginfo] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Debug failovermethod=priority #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Ever... mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-debug-$releasever&am... enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY
[fedora-source] name=Fedora $releasever - Source failovermethod=priority #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Ever... mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-source-$releasever&a... enabled=0 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.

See http://docs.fedoraproject.org/mirror/en/sn-planning-and-setup.html for some examples of how to do this.
