Kick off an rsync from your closest fast mirror, wait for this to complete, then setup a nightly cron job to keep in sync with this mirror. Something like...
rsync -Pptrl --delete rsync://rsync.sunsite.org.uk/sites/msync.centos.org/CentOS/4/ /local_repo/CentOS/4/
To speed things up (and to conserve disk space), you can add a --exclude=isos to the rsync command (and also --exclude="alpha" --exclude="ia64" --exclude="ppc" --exclude="s390*" --exclude="x86_64" if you only need/want the i386 stuff).
