The '-z' option just compresses the data, saving bandwidth. More than likely you're already using compression. In my /usr/bin/emerge (just a text file, open it with nano or vim), the rsync line is 1503: mycommand="/usr/bin/rsync -rlptDvz --progress --stats --delete --delete-after --timeout="+str(mytimeout)+" --exclude='distfiles/*' --exclude='packages/*' " As you can see, the -z is already in there. It's been in there for quite a while, as I remember, so you're good to go. For a quick check, just do a "grep '/usr/bin/rsync' /usr/bin/emerge" and see if the options you want are there. Beware that they'll be overwritten the next time you upgrade portage. -- Alec Berryman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
