use rsync to maintain an update. Rsync is fast(compression) and smart. Just
add it in a cron job. Check www.rpmfind.net on how to do a mirror.
use:
rsync -az rpmfind.net::linux/mandrake-cooker/ mydirectoryonmymachine

I use wget to get daily updates from rpmfind.net. Read the manpage to
learn more. I also use a simple "while true;do wget (options); sleep
24h;done".
