Tim, It's best not to provide a specific cygwin package URL like that. If anyone wants to download the Cygwin version of rsync, they should just visit <http://cygwin.com/> (like you said) and use the Cygwin-supplied setup.exe to install Cygwin and rsync. One will probably have to explicitly enable the rsync package installation, because I don't think it comes by default. The Cygwin setup.exe program does a few crucial things like define a mount table in the Windows Registry. If you just downloaded and unpacked the bz2 file, without installing Cygwin with setup.exe, I don't think rsync would work. In response to Carlos' 2nd question: I've been watching this list for over a year and I've never seen a non-Cygwin Windows port of rsync advertised. Since it works under Cygwin, why would one bother?
