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

No package dnf-download_packages available.

From your previous message I was under the impression you only wished

dnf download thunderbird
would do that as long as you have the dnf-plugins-core package installed.
