At least in the first step. If you once got those tarballs and put it in the 
right place, you don't need to fetch them again.

You should keep and backup all the tarballs you need at your site. What we do: 

ptxdist setup -> Source Directories 

Set a path to a mounted network file system (cifs, nfs, etc.) and do a central 
backup of that share.

Not sure what you mean, but if you're looking for specific tarballs, buildroot 
has an archive, too:
