If you are just trying to get the Updates, then the correct command is

rsync --partial --timeout=300  -vprt --exclude=debug/ \ 
rsync://ftp.ndlug.nd.edu/fedora-linux-core-updates/4/i386/\
/mnt/ms/fc4update/

Note the different source directory, and the terminating '/' on the URL's for 
both the source and destination directories.

Your command was picking up the entire directory for Fedora Base, including 
all the different versions.
