I keep my own mirror so I use:

#----------------------------------------------------------------
# Local Directory
#----------------------------------------------------------------
# file://path/to/some/directory/
file://usr/src/spkg/CURRENT/
#----------------------------------------------------------------

and then:

rsync -aAXPvh --delete-after --delete-excluded \
--exclude={EFI,isolinux,source,kdei,usb-and-pxe-installers} \
rsync://plug-mirror.rcac.purdue.edu/slackware/slackware64-current/  \
/usr/src/spkg/CURRENT/

Blacklist shouldn't change.

Make sure the destination exists and season to taste.

I like the repository on hand for quick repairs if I screw something up. 
  Internet has been known to go down ;-)
