The most efficient way is probably to find a Fedora mirror that supports rsync access and use rsync to keep a copy of the directories you're interested in. I do it the old-fashioned way, using the program "mirror", which is designed for keeping a copy of (part of) a remote ftp site using only the ftp protocol. Mirror isn't really maintained any more but it does the job. Homepage is at ftp://sunsite.org.uk/old-sunsite/mirror/index.html and I have an RPM available at: http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/Mirroring/mirror-2.9-13.noarch.rpm I set up mirror to keep a local copy of the FC2 updates directory (this includes the yum headers) and run the mirror job using cron every night.
