I'm wondering if the following is rsync-related or an issue with my supposedly synchronous internet connection:
I have a server running an rsync daemon. When I simultaneously pull and push files to this server using two separate processes on the client (different directories), I get about half the transfer speed compared to just running one process. This also occurs when the files are new (so the rsync algorithm should not be active which otherwise causes data to be sent in both directions).
Is this to be expected from rsync? Or is it (a) a bug or (b) connection related?
Depending on the speeds of connection, transfer, cpu power, etc., it could simply be that running 2 instances of rsync is severly impacting the effective cpu time that is usefully available.
In short, without much more data it's impossible to say what might be the matter.

Thanks for your reply!
1. All files are new => virtually no cpu usage at either end.
2. Line speed is around 100 kbps but halves when transferring files in both directions.
3. Win2k server at both ends.
4. rsync 2.6.1cvs (just before 2.6.2) at both ends. Exactly the same binaries.
