I made a small mistake. The unified SRPMS and srpm repodata will be
useful for yumdownloader, not yum itself. Yum does not and will not
have the ability to grab srpms.
yumdownloader? I hope it is what I am thinking.
You'll see, my home computer is connected to the Internet through a
modem and most of the time making updates is prohibited because more
often that not they are very large, so I religiously copy the packages
names that needs an update, I take them to my office and wget them from
a very fast connection one by one into my usb memory and finally back to
my home and copy the packages in the yum cache.
Is there a way to make the downloading part of this automatic? something
like yum generating all the wget commands so I can use them on a very
fast connection easily instead of one by one.
yumdownloader has a "--urls" option that will give you the URLs to
download. This could easily be scripted into a bunch of wget commands.

Little question: is this a FC5 thing only? or I can get it for FC4 too?
If so, where can I get it?
yumdownloader is part of the yum-utils package, which is available in
Extras for FC4.
