What about using the Update Manager to get a local copy of the entire 
update site?  Check out 
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/update_standalone.html. 
It talks about using the Update Manager from the command line. 
Specifically, it provides an option to "mirror" the entire update site 
locally:

java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
  -application  org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate
  -command mirror
  -from /remote_site_url/
  -to /target_site_dir/
  [-featureId /feature_id/]
  [-version /version/]
  [-mirrorURL /mirror_site_url/]
