Your dns isn't working for you:)
But,
rsync rsync://mirror.ovh.net
ftp.apache.org
CPAN
ftp.kernel.org
ftp.mysql.com
ftp.postfix.org
ftp.qmail.org
ftp.xfree86.org
gentoo-distfiles
gentoo-portage
debian
debian-non-US
ubuntu
ftp.centos.org
download.fedora.redhat.com
opensuse
ftp.slackware.com
Your path is wrong anyway...
rsync -avrt --exclude=debug/ rsync://mirror.ovh.net/ftp.centos.org/5/updates/
updates/
