I doing wget --mirror on ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2 through a
CRON. Then exported the dir through NFS, even set up my own ftp server
on <ip>/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2. Running YOU on a NFS mount or local
hard disk is way faster then ftp...

wget --mirror doesn't however clean up old files in the repositories,
and before my disk crashed, I used to have a nifty scripts that compared
the .listings files with the actual directory. I am pretty sure wget has
a feature of doing that, but I never figured it out...
