I think I'm seeing the same issue. I'm also using Cygwin (on Win Server
2003). From a linux server I've run
rsync -a --del --rsh='ssh -l backups'
backups@windowshost:/cygdrive/d/webapps/backups webapps/
and it would freeze midway through the transfer of large (~1GB) files
(apparently always at a different point in the file). As suggested, I've
added -W and all seems to be well now.
That extra switch doesn't bother me too much, but does anyone have ideas
how to track down this issue? Is there some information I could provide to
help?
Thanks in advance,
Gavin
PS I've also since added "-t --modify-window=2" to help avoid
re-transferring data, but that's another story.
