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/
