-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a better understanding what you are after now.
Another useful rsync flag is --rsh, which lets you pass options to ssh. For remote file transfers I often use the blowfish cipher as it is less overhead than aes-128 which I believe is the default for ssh. Less overhead = more bits through the pipe. You may be able to tweak TCP as well, but that is potentially more effort than it is worth. The full command for a common rsync transfer for me is: rsync -avuz --progress --rsh="ssh -c blowfish" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/rpath /lpath ** Note that this puts rpath inside of lpath because I intentionally omitted the trailing slash off of the source path.
