Automatic Download of SUSE 10.0 Updates

I have more than one computer running Linux at our place, so I've always been on the lookout for a way of saving the distribution's updates locally so that all the other computers could update from there, rather than having to download the same updates many times. With updates to distributions typically amounting to hundreds of Megabytes, downloading multiple times is not the way to go. A lot of distributions have ways of creating local updates repositories, but the ones I've used have been difficult to set up or cumbersome to use. So I wrote a few scripts to automate the download process to a local updates directory which, in SUSE 10.0, is very easily used by YAST Online Update (YOU) to install the updates to all computers on your local network.
