Perhaps you could apply the following patch in /usr/share/yum, and then
try the command:
yum list downloads_for update > /tmp/yum-downloads
After the "downloads_for" keywords follows any command line that would
be a legal yum command without "list downloads_for".
The output consists of two "words" per line, separated by tabs:
1) an absolute pathname starting with /var/cache/yum, and
2) an argument you could give to wget.
There is one line per object yum would download if run without "list
downloads_for".
When you have arranged that the files have been downloaded and placed in
the corresponding file names, I believe you can do yum -C update or
whatever was the command after "list downloads_for".
