Heh. That's one of the things I love about DNF. No longer having to wait
a long time for repo downloads when runing 'dnf' because the cron job has
already cached it, is great. I wish yum would do this by default too!

Well yum does in F18 at least for anybody running PackageKit as it will do the downloads in the background by default.

This is of course intensely annoying to anybody with time of day based bandwidth restrictions/charges, especially since it is not well advertised or easy to turn off. A bug complaining about this has now been ignored for nearly two months:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890070

Note that the settings change is per-user, so if you have multiple desktop users you need to make sure that they all disable downloads...
