Does:

wget
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml

(that's one line)

create a repomd.xml file in your current directory on this machine?

$ wget
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml--08:07:38--  http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml
           => `repomd.xml'
