If you have the dnf-plugins-core package installed dnf will have a "download"
option.
See
http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/cli_vs_yum.html and the section on "Changes
in DNF plugins compared to Yum utilities".
.
It looks like: |download_packages|(/pkglist/, /progress=None/)
Download packages in pkglist from remote repositories.
might be the command I need? But I can't make it work?
# dnf install dnf-download_packages
