If you've got the space for it (about 6 gigs, I think) you should look into rsync'ing the update site [from a mirror] which CAN be done in a cron job --
toganm@earth:~/projects/oldstyle> du -sH /usr/local/update/i386/update/8.1/ 728MB /usr/local/update/i386/update/8.1 So something like 1 gig is enough
then all you need to do is actually perform an "update" whenever you see rsync download files that you use [with the added bonus that since rsync already brought down the file, YOU can work against a local directory and the initialization time should be VERY quick...]
