What about:-
#!/bin/sh
rsync -avv --progress --stats --partial rsync://planetmirror.com/\
<insert path to 7.3 updates>/  /home/redhat/updates/
rpm -FUvh /home/redhat/updates/*

Actually, I keep a separate rsync server for clients, so that only
"agreed" updates get applied to customers machines.

Why ask for a free lunch, when they've left the ingredients on the table
in from of us? :)

PS --partial means you can resume downloads or fix corrupted versions of
the RPMs
