[Yum] Only download option

[Miguel Armas]

Hi all!!
I would like to know if yum has (or you plan to add) an option to just 
download the needed RPM, but not install them (similar to apt-get -d).

This is a very usefull feature in some scenarios. Imagine you have to upgrade 
the distro in a server with a slow link. You would have to download several 
MB and it would take a couple hours. You could leave it running all night, 
but then you'll miss the upgrade process and probably important error 
messages.
If we have a "just download" option, we run yum with that option at night. 
When we come to work the next day, we have all the needed packages in the 
local cache and can upgrade the system.

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I've only seen this question once, and nobody 
answered it...

Salu2!
