You need to ensure that Yum is configured to keep its RPM cache. To do
this, add a line that reads as follows to your /etc/yum.conf file:

keepcache=0

Then, the downloaded packages will be in the /var/yum/cache/<repository>/
directory. Copying the contents of those directories over to the other
computers should suffice. Hope that helps.
