sorry, one more thing, on the server we are getting the files from,

Are you connecting to an rsync daemon or not?
If you are running a daemon, run the *daemon* as "nice rsync --daemon"
(how you run the client has no effect on how the daemon runs).
does running the daemon with nice affect the receiving server?
cos that's where the main problems lie
also, when rsync'ing does the rsync daemon on the host use a lot of
system resources?
If you're not running a daemon (even if you're running rsync via inetd),
the "max connections" setting can have no effect because rsync isn't
accepting the connections. In the case of using a remote shell for the
transfer, make sure you've specified that nice is to be used on the
remote rsync command by using the option --rsync-path='nice rsync'
(again, the client's nice level doesn't affect commands on the remote
host).
when i go to top on the backup server, i can see several instances of
rsync running
Keep in mind that a daemon will have either one or two extra rsync
processes in addition to the daemon when a transfer is active (1 =
sending, 2 = receiving). Or see above for why the max connections
option may not even be in effect.
