I use the following script to mirror CentOS updates for my servers at work ... it should be possible to modify it to work with fedora with some tweaking. One thing I like about wget is that you can specify a maximum bandwidth so as to not swamp your internet connection. The one thing you will have to check is the "--cut-dirs=8" this will vary depending on your source repository layout. #!/bin/sh # # mirror-centos.sh - Mirror CentOS Linux Updates # # Variables MIRROR="mirror.cs.wisc.edu" WBDIR="pub/mirrors/linux/caosity.org/centos" VERSIONS="4" ARCHS="SRPMS i386 x86_64" WBUPDATES="/home/ftp/pub/centos" PROXY="http://firewall.company.com:8080/"; # Limit Transfer Rate to 10K bytes per second MAXRATE="10k" # Do the mirror for d in $VERSIONS; do for y in $ARCHS; do cd $WBUPDATES ## env http_proxy=$PROXY \ wget --non-verbose --no-host-directories --cut-dirs=8 --mirror \ --passive-ftp --limit-rate=$MAXRATE \ --directory-prefix=$WBUPDATES/$d/updates/$y \ ftp://$MIRROR/$WBDIR/$d/updates/$y ##--output-file=/tmp/mirror-centos.log # the RPMS should be checked for valid sigs, not ready for that yet ##rpm --checksig $WBUPDATES/$d/updates/$y/*.rpm | grep 'NOT OK' done done # Done exit
