You can build your base repo from the iso images via Nautilus. Right
click on the iso image file and open with the Archive Manager, then
extract the contents to a directory. You will have to set permissions
to the created directories to 755.
Then do an rsync to the mirror base, you will pick a few fixes.
Building your 5.2/update repo directory is about a 900Mb download. No
easy way around this.
BTW, I have done all this this week.
