This mirror does not appear to allow rsync access to the fedora directory, 
despite what Fedora's download page says.

You can try ftp.ndlug.nd.edu instead.  I would suggest:

rsync --partial --timeout=300 -vprt --exclude debug/ \
  rsync://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/fedora-linux-core/updates/4 /mnt/data/fc4updates


You may or may not want the --partial flag.  --partial will help with 
restarting a large partially-downloaded file, at the expense of having to 
carry around partially-downloaded files in the download directory.
