Hi

I think yumdownloader is what you are looking for.

For completeness, yumdownloader is a command/program that comes with the yum-utils package on centos 4 and 5.

I just figured out how to get firefox to show me the RPMS directory in the online repo and then did a save link as. This worked for this time....

You won't like that when you run into an rpm with a lot of dependencies. Just 'yum install yum-downloadonly', then 'yum --downloadonly packagename'.
