Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.9-2
Hi,
I have a large file and only some parts of it need to be transfered, and
I'm using the partial transfer option. But if the transfer gets
interupted, it truncates the file to the place where rsync was during
this transfer.
This is not exactly the behaviour I was expecting, and now I end up
needing to transfer alot more.

So it's the complete "new" file, which contains less of the data than
the old file.
This was just an rsync -P

--inplace is probably the option that I needed. So I'm closing this
bug.
