Hello,
I would like to mirror the centos.org repository for an offline network. I don't need the ISO images, don't need any i386 stuff, and I think I probably don't need any of the source code rpms either. Most of the clients are CentOS 6.x, so I don't want to download the CentOS 7.x tree yet either (that will come soon, but separately from this one).
I tried using this command, but it still downloaded all of the i386 sub-folders anyway, and I got about 15 gigs or so of stuff I didn't want.
wget -m -np --exclude-directories=i386 http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/
I'm guessing there's a formatting mistake of some kind in this command. Do you need to specify the excluded sub-folders relative to the top directory you're downloading from? i.e. rather than "i386", you'd need to specify "/centos-6/6/updates/i386/"?

You probably should start by not mirroring mirror.centos.org, but a local mirror:
https://centos.org/download/mirrors/
If you plan on regularly mirroring the CentOS repos on that site, please contact them and let them know.
You should also consider using a yum-aware tool like reposync, mrepo or pulp to create your own repos, rather than using 'wget'. Many repos have rsync:// support, which means you can also use rsync to do this.

Don't use wget at all. Use rsync instead, from a mirror that supports it. Here is what I use (in a nightly cron):
# cd /myrepo # rsync -rltHvz --delete rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/mirror.centos.org/6/os/i386/ centos6/os/i386/ # rsync -rltHvz --delete rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/mirror.centos.org/6/updates/i386/ centos6/updates/i386/ # rsync -rltHvz --delete rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/mirror.centos.org/6/os/x86_64/ centos6/os/x86_64/ # rsync -rltHvz --delete rsync://rsync.mirrorservice.org/mirror.centos.org/6/updates/x86_64/ centos6/updates/x86_64/
Omit the ones you don't want.

Ok, that sounds a little more elegant.
Does that delete switch delete those files after download, or does it stop it from downloading at all?
