I use lftp to do it. lftp mirror will only grab new files, so once
mirrors are created - keeping them updated is little bandwidth.
You also could use rsync, but rsync access is not given to everyone.
Some mirrors may allow you rsync access, some don't.
I have a user with permission to write to /var/ftp/yum
This runs in his crontab once a night
#!/bin/bash
function mirror_release {
REL="$1"

Once core is synced - I comment out the core stuff since it doesn't
change.
