http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/ You may indeed get help here since this list is an rsync list. If I knew what your problem might be I'd try to help you myself, but I don't so hopefully someone else will chime in with some ideas for you to try. One question I do have is what version of rsync is running on the ftp server? Also, if you know the exact file it gets stuck on, how big is that file? -- Hardy Merrill Red Hat, Inc.
