But you download the files from them nevertheless?

Wouldn't it be much more convenient to turn off the repo after installing
the needed packages? That way you will benefit from dependency checks
during normal updates of your installation. And you can one-shot re-enable
the repo any time to check whether there are updates for those few packages
you want. The --enablerepo= option for Yum and DNF exists for such usage
patterns.
