Many thanks Nux, reposync is the tool ... but, is it possible to download metada too with reposync to avoid to use createrepo command??
Use lftp, not reposync.
yeah, thats what I use. my cron job looks like...
lftp -c 'open ftp://mirrors.kernel.org && lcd /export/mirror &&
mirror --continue --verbose=1 -x ia64 -x s390 -x s390x -x alpha -x SRPMS centos'
that gets all releases, but not s390 or alpna or itanium. add -x 5* to lose the 5.x stuff.
oh, it appears I'm using ftp not http... I believe thats because I got inconsistent results with http when I switched source repos

Ok, I am trying to use lftp but I receive a lot of messages like this:
x86_64: Getting files information (22%) [Waiting for response...]
or
"Delaying before reconnect"
.. and after 8 hours, lftp had synced 4GiB ... very very very slowly ... My Internet connection is not the problem ( I can download DVD iso images really fast) and the source server neither ( I have tried to download CentOS 6.3 x86_64 iso image and the download was really fast)
Where can it be the problem??
