Rsync Bug 1442

2008-02-11 Thread Kutluk Testicioglu
Hi, One of our clients has an rsync server hang which looks similar to bug 1442. The problem occurs only when they use our WAN acceleration box. So I'm thinking that the changes in TCP window size and scaling, etc. by the WAN acceleration box might be causing the rsync s/w to behave like this.
