So what is the official way to upgrade my two computers that have no DVD drive? Download the data twice on each computer? I would like to use the DVD image as base for the upgrade process. Currently there seems to be no good way upgrade multiple computers to the release images.

Download the iso, fedup --iso rather than fedup --network.

Hm. Yeah, looking more closely that may only be partially implemented at the moment. It's definitely the planned mechanism for your usecase.
