Thanks a lot guys! I tested several files with the compression option and the compress level.
But the strange thing with the timestamps is still disturbing me. I deleted the cache as Sven told me with a bash file: sync echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches After creating a file of 1GB I copy it with the standard rsync command. Then I made "touch -t 200901261330 test.xyz" and run this command: rsync -av --bwlimit=10000 --stats --progress --delete 192.168.222.82:"/home/test" /backup/rsync0 It takes about 80sec. Then I made "touch test.xyz" and run the rsync command with forced md5: rsync -acv --bwlimit=10000 --stats --progress --delete 192.168.222.82:"/home/test" /backup/rsync0 Now it takes only about 45sec. So I am still wondering. Am I doing s.th. wrong?! Greetings, David ____________________________________________________________________ Psssst! Schon vom neuen WEB.DE MultiMessenger gehört?
