Please suggest how can i do this.

I'm not sure I understood what you need.

If you plan on building a local copy of an already existing repo on internet you have many tools for that:

wget -m

rsync

Is a tool used for mirroring files as well...

thanks Marc,

yes i want to make local copy of repository,which is already exist on opensuse website,and it should be synchronise by Internet repo .

Can u tell me full command of rsync.
i used

rsync -av http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/ /srv/www/suse_repo

my local path is /srv/www/suse_repo

Using rsync is a bit more complicated as you need the website to provide a module for you to rsync. You can check

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirror_infrastructure

And use something like

rsync -rlpt rsync.opensuse.org::opensuse-updates/11.3 /repo 

Check the manuals! Or you could try wget as well :)
