Though it has been awhile the best was and may still be a personal mirror.
One machine downloads off the web and the rest of the network just uses
that system as their mirror. Personal mirror vs. actual mirror is for your
application as stated; meaning you don't share it outside your network.
You would have to check the main site to get the instructions. As I
mentioned, it's been awhile.

downloaded rpms, and their system-upgrades simply saw that most of the
stuff was already downloaded.
Looks like in F27, /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade is an entire directory
structure, and each repository's packages are stashed away in subdirectory
that are tagged with the repository's current version tag.
What's the best way to minimize downloads now? I could make a copy of the
entire /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade structure, but I will be rolling the
upgrades over the course of several days, during which I expect all the
update repos to be updated as usual, with their version tags changing.
