/me has a local Server mirror for VM installs.

Mirroring the Everything and updates repos is too much data.

Mirroring a subset of the RPMs is too much work (maintaining the subset
you need is a PITA because it constantly changes).

What works best is downloading though a caching proxy.  Needs tweaking
the repofiles though:  Comment out metalink, add baseurl with a fixed
mirror instead, otherwise you'll end up re-downloading unmodified
repodata and packages just because yum/dnf picked another mirror this
time.

Wishlist item:  Can we just have cdn.fedoraproject.org download urls
please?

cheers,
  Gerd
