[CentOS] Any alternatives for the horrible reposync

Hi,
I'm currently trying to mirror a couple of yum repositories and the only
tool that seems to be available for this is reposync.
Unfortunately reposync for some inexplicable reason seems to use the yum
config of the local system as a basis for its work which makes no sense
and creates all kinds of problems where cache directories and metadata
gets mixed up.
Are there any alternatives? Some repos support rsync but not all of them
so I'm looking for something that works for all repos.

Regards,
  Dennis
