Ooooh, I like that. I have a client that has a bad habit of creating a 5GB zipfile, that, of course, fails to rsync across 3,000 miles. Since it's a zip file, rsync can't diff the old and new versions; it ends up trying to send the whole thing and the connection just isn't reliable enough. It would be nice to be able to transfer everything else first. As long as we're on that topic, a size limit on file size to be transferred would be nice. If you are on Unix or GNU, you can try split command and break up your 5GB into 500MB chunks. Reassemble them with cat when transfer is (are) complete.
