Other than invisible proxies, that is (had that problem in > the past). http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/7/ lists the Fedora 7 public mirrors. Several ISPs listed there such as tummy.com and Steadfast Networks, specifically have mirrors exactly to cache this content, and their users are automatically redirected to their network-local mirror, which is both fast for the user, and less expensive than paying the transit fees for using upstream networks. There are several private mirrors which do this too, so they don't show up on the public list, but their users get the same benefits.
