There's nothing in setup.exe, but I do remember that someone once posted a script that does this. I don't recall the filename but google on the mailing list archives ought to work. I prefer to maintain a local rsync repository rather than letting setup.exe download anything. If you go this route you can use --delete to delete stuff no longer on the master site. You can be pretty flexible in what you mirror, e.g. --exclude=\*-src.tar\* to skip source packages (though I don't do this.)
