No, you shouldn't be. That's the entire point of rsync -- it compares files block-by-block and sends ONLY the changed blocks over the network. > Is there a better way to do this?

You could probably also use xdelta, but an rsync solution would be much simpler to implement than xdelta. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: 603.293.8485 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
