I just installed it on our main servers, the client gets, treacy 29488 4.4 5.2 3768 3320 p5 S 20:32 0:15 rsync -avz treacy 29511 7.9 9.8 6660 6164 p5 S 20:33 0:23 rsync -avz And the server gets, treacy 15724 9.7 6.5 5512 4132 ? S 22:32 0:33 rsync --server Which is much nicer I think, I'll see how the other archive does later on. Do I need to get the clients to upgrade to the newest version to get the reduced memory usage on the server? BTW, I don't know if you have heard the story, but rsync is one of the few programs that is capable of mirroring our Bug pages, the perl stuff just chokes! The Bug archive has -alot- of small text files. Thanks, Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
