What I'd like to see is some sort of yum-proxy to save bandwidth for users. E.g. let some sort of yum-procy run on a local network server; fill it's cache with what you have already from the distribution cd; clients connect to the proxy; if the package is in the cache send it back; otherwise download it from the web, send it over, and put it in the cache; now and then check if a package is still in the upstream repos; if not, drop it from the cache.
I don't think something like that exists for yum. Or did I miss that? Debian has something similar iirc -- ohh boy, I should learn python properly and implement above proxy myself...
Well, you *could* just do this with any specially configured web cache.
