 	I also use lftp in yum-pull (my repo mirroring script at 
http://www.stearns.org/yum-pull).  I've noticed that it really doesn't 
seem to check whether it already has a file locally.  It seems to blindly 
download the entire collection.
 	I've had to teach yum-pull how to hand lftp "-X" excludes for 
every rpm that was successfully downloaded already.
 	Cheers,
 	- Bill
