I have no idea why you are having problems with 'file size/time';
however, I am trying to set up some easy method of monitoring it to see
if I am experiencing it also. Specifically, what protocol are you using
to confirm this problem?
As far as the [-z] option, from the man page:
-z, --compress
With this option, rsync compresses the file data as it
is sent to the destination machine, which reduces the amount
of data being transmitted -- something that is useful over a
slow connection.
I am not sure how many users are effected by this. Maybe I will make it
a configurable option and let the end user decide. I am updating the
logging function, so I might as well add that to the TODO list.
As far as the [-u] switch; I have never experienced a problem. If it
ain't broke, why fix it?
