Grab a copy of a repository at work, copy it home and set up a local repository. Yum will be perfectly happy with the setup. Sample to rsync to mirrorservice.org:

export RSYNCCMD="rsync -avP --delete" $RSYNCCMD rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5.5/updates/x86_64/ /storage/centos/5.5/updates/x86_64/ $RSYNCCMD rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5.5/updates/i386/ /storage/centos/5.5/updates/i386/
