Pool is all the packages that are on the DVD
Extra is additional packages with lesser support levels
Update is newer packages released after the media (mostly security and
bugfix updates)
Online is used to move from GA to SP1 (then not used after)

SMT can not only mirror but also gives a nice interface to list
available channels and choose which to mirror.  You might think about
switching from YUP to SMT...

Thanks,
Peter
