I think Daniel is using raw rsync, without dirvish, for moving between machines. That is sensible, given that he is copying raw data. However, may I suggest putting a swap cage in the old machine (if there is a slot available, a big if) or putting an E-SATA card in the old machine along with a trustworthy SATA to PATA adapter if necessary? A direct drive-to-drive copy will be faster than the network, encrypted or not. Daniel, Audio Precision is not far from me; I probably have some unused swap cages if you want to borrow them for a while.
