Someone else pointed this out but it bears repeating since you never replied saying you had this figuredout. i don't know whether things will get compressed or not based on your configuration (-z vs. dont compress) but try without the -z. If it *is* trying to compress that could easily explain the slow speed of your transfers. danno -- dan pritts - systems administrator - internet2 734/352-4953 office 734/834-7224 mobile -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
