Looks like the mirrors you are trying timed out, you can try again later
or specify a mirror (listed at:
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html)  If the problem happens
again, you might have a firewall issue.  For example, try bringing up
the file (with wget or a browser or something): 

http://mirrors.tummy.com/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/core/upd
ates/4/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz

It just came up fine for me.
