Hi Scott, On this mailinglist, there is a thread called "Rsync performance increase through buffering". The first post in that thread, by Craig Barratt, contains a number of patches that increases the transfer speed *a lot* under windows/cygwin. Applying this patch alone, however, hangs rsync, so you need to apply another patch mentioned at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01155.html (brought to my attention by Jim Kleckner). If you do all that you get a much more stable and a lot faster rsync under windows. If you don't want to apply all the patches, contact me, and I'll send you patched sources or a binary that works for me under win2k (though I haven't tried the patches under linux).
