"Libzypp has had the ability to keep downloaded packages for a while now.
"Keep packages behavior is enabled/disabled by repository. Add 
'keeppackages=1' to .repo file."
Above quote from zypper-devel list 14th Feb. Simply set keeppackages in 
the appropriate .repo file in /etc/zypp and rpms stay in 
/var/cache/zypp/packages in the repo's cache directory.
