I want to use rsync to synchronize my update rpms in my local hard drive /mnt/data/fc4updates/, and my desired download source is : rsync://mirrors.usc.edu/fedora This is exactly what it says in the mirror site page that I found in Fedora download page, and the ftp server is ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/updates/f/
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/fc4updatesYou 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.
