I am getting the following error when mirroring part of the RedHat distribution tree over a slow connection (~T1 speed). When running over a faster network (100BaseT) the problem does not appear. Note, the problem file a large 600MB ISO image, whereas other small files appear to be fine.

A repeat of the rsync command with the file already on the destination machines results in the same error.
