I ran into what looks like a bug in the Linux TCP driver using rsync.
That case was going between a Linux & Solaris machine, though, so your
problem may be different. See the thread that begins at
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2000-October/002964.html
You don't say whether you are using ssh, rsh, or the rsync --daemon.
Tell us the send and receive queue sizes on both ends when it is stuck as
shown by "netstat" on your TCP connection.
