How can I use yum to download packages, even if they're installed?

I need the Development Tools package for a CentOS machine on an intranet. So I built a CentOS desktop VM where it can touch the internet to pull down the needed packages. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/centos-linux-install-gcc-c-c-compiler/
shows theres 105 packages. When I run the command:
Code:
 yum --downloadonly --downloaddir=. -y groupinstall "Development Tools"

I get 49 that need to be installed. It wont download whats installed already. I found one post that suggested adding --installroot=. to the command. But then yum doesnt like the URL for the repo.

Ideas on how I can get all these packages. The machine I need this on, doesnt even have make or binutils installed, its very barebones.

Try a different repository:
