I run rawhide at home, but my network connection is only a 256/128

This makes large yum updates (like today's 385ish MB behemoth) rather
lengthy. OTOH, I have an OC-48 network connection at work, with a
Cygwin installation on my office PC.
What I'd like to do is generate a list of properly formatted filenames
from the yum list updates command on the rawhide machine, then take that
list to work and feed it to a script that wgets each file from a mirror
over the OC-48 connection. Then I can just dump the files to a thumb
drive and do the update from it when I get home.
Can you set up a cron job to slurp it in starting some time after you
usually go to bed?
