I have local mirrors of f9 final, f9 updates and f9 livna. I use lftp
to get updates to the repos (though f9 final doesn't change) and I modify the
repo definitions in /etc/yum.repos.d to point to the local mirror.
For example to get the i386 f9 final repo you can use the following command:
lftp -e 'mirror --delete-first --parallel=3 -c -e -v pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/ /spare/fd' 209.132.176.220

Just replace 209.132.176.220 with an appropiate mirror near you.

The corresponding repo file has been changed to:
[fedora]

If you are getting both i386 and x86_64, there is some overlap and you probably
want to use rsync so that you only get hardlinked files once.

The size of the f9 i386 repo is a bit over 13GB. The 9GB estimate was close
one or two releases ago.
