Initially I used --exclude but decided it was safer to ask for what I want rather than for everything but what I don't want.

The mirror's directory structure is more stable now than when I stared so it might not be such a problem, however, .....
You can do that too in a single pass:
mirror=mirrors.kernel.org dir=sources.redhat.com/cygwin dest=/d/cygwin-mirror rsync -rlt $mirror::$dir/setup*\ $dir/release/ $dest
In deference to the Bellman: "I like it, I like it, I like it!!!" It's revisit my old script time!
(The rsync man page covers specifying multiple sources in the section 'ADVANCED USAGE'.)
Thanks for this pointer and the help!
