I use rsync to get daily changes from a server that contains about 1 million files.

Because of that many files, it takes rsync 2-3 hours to build the file list; after that, file transfer takes about 3-5 hours (over 1 Mbit link).


Is it possible to make rsync to start receive files while the file list is still getting built?

If it was possible, in my case, the whole data transfer could be finished 2 hours faster.


I didn't see such option in 2.6.9; perhaps it's planned for 3.0.0?
