The only way I'm aware of is to rsync the repositories.
Thus I'm keeping about 30GB of files on my hdd. ;)

To find out what does a server have to offer use e.g:

'rsync -n ftp5.gwdg.de::'

To rsync the files of let say packman repo and for i386 only use e.g.:

rsync -tvrl --exclude=repodata/ --exclude=x86_64/ --exclude=i386/
--exclude=i486/ --exclude=media.1/ --exclude=setup/ --exclude=src
--exclude=SRPMS/ --exclude=content --exclude=content.*
--exclude=directory.* --exclude=gpg* --delete
ftp5.gwdg.de::pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/10.2/ /srv/ftp/repos/10.2/packman/

More in 'man rsync'

thx
