Look for the processor usage in the machines that are transfering the files. You'll probably see that one of those machines has about 100% processor usage, given that the big files are about 70Gb. Try massive block sizes, apart from that I have no ideas. The problem is unrelated from network bandwith, though...Mermgfurt !I have some problem with syncing two machines which are connected over a Gigabit-connection. I'm trying to use rsync with ssh because of the authorisation mechanisms (keys). It starts quite ok with 18 MB/s (this small speed may have something to do with our internal net) and falls down to 400 KB/s (!!!). This happens over a long period because those files I want to copy are very big (upto 70 GB per file). Even though I tried to increase the blocking size the speed just goes down and won't go up again. In fact it really writes 18 MB/s, it's not just a problem of -partial or something similar. Ok, I haven't tried it without ssh yet, but it really looks very strange. The version is the rsync 2.5.6cvs version from debian-unstable.
