You'll notice that the file list is 4910229 bytes long, presumably because you are transferring _lots_ of files. The file list, the literal data, and the relatively small block-matching data are all being sent, so it is plausible that they make up 6457999 bytes when compressed. -- Matt McCutchen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hashproduct.metaesthetics.net/ -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
