rsync - Jan 2010 - rsync/cwgwin hangs during transfers

Hi,

Rsync 3.0.7 and Cygwin 1.7.1 hangs at random instances. This does not happen
always and does not happen at all locations. 

I can reproduce the problem. Others are having similar problems.

Can someone please guide me one what I can do to report such problems?

Regards,
Alan

Same here. I've had no responses to postings on this topic on this list 
or on cygwin lists.

Do you have any antivirus/firewall software installed? I once had weird issues
with cwRsync
on Windows and this took two days to find that security software intercepted
some of the low
level win32 api hooks and this interacted badly with cygwin.

pipes in cygwin are unreliable, its not an rsync issue its a well known
cygwin issue.

You have two choices:
1. don't use cygwin
2. use daemon mode, which avoids piping though ssh hence the main cause
of the pipe issue, although reduces security.
