Do you think it is necessary for rsync to have to have bandwidth control at all? It seems this should be someone else's responsibility. For instance, if rsync is run over a pipe, something like cstream or throttle could be used (I don't know if these are really suitable, but there's no reason a separate utility couldn't do it). Even for the daemon, maybe it could be run over some bandwidth limiting proxy or something, if the OS couldn't limit the bandwidth directly. -- Ben Escoto
