Mike, I'm now running rsync again with the options you specified. It has printed out a message: unexpected EOF in read-timeout but it is still using CPU (~85%, update checked again before sending this, now dropped down to ~40%). This is the only message I've seen. Is it hosed? Should I stop it and try restarting it? Should I see a new copy of the file being assembled somewhere? (I did an ls -al in the local directory with the original file, but I see no evidence of a new file being created.) (Until I hear from you or someone else, or see some definite signs of a problem, I'll keep it running.) With the partial option, will a partial file (.iso) be saved if the connection is broken? (My ISP has taken to disconnecting me after 12 hours -- he changed the TOS.) Thanks!
