I'm using GWGet.. Currently 40% over. Hope to complete it by Monday
cos I'm on 2-8 unlimited plan. I need the repository for my friends in
college hostel where the proxy server(squid of course) limits external
downloads to 25 MB. We're going to ask our college admin to provide an
internal mirror for the 50 odd Fedora 11 users. I helped them install
but updates are tough with this policy.
I have done a similar thing at NITD, you could have used rsync instead of
using wget. Take a look at the public mirrors that support rsync here
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/11/i386/ . IITK mirror
does not support that, right now and the bandwidth for IITM is very less.
So choose any other mirror and just run this command
rsync -av <url to the directory to be copied> <path to the directory where
it has to be saved>
url is usually of this type rsync://ftp.iitm.ac.in/fedora.
Its better to use rsync because it can be put in cron to automatically
update the repositories.
Google about rsync.
