For protocol-corruption errors like this one, the whole process stops. > Any plans on releasing a new binary version including this fix anytime soon? Wayne plans to release rsync 3.0.1 in the next few days. Until then, you can use a nightly snapshot or exclude the offending file. (This is a major, easily overlooked advantage of rsync's filters: if one file gives rsync trouble, one can simply exclude it so that the rest of the run can proceed.)
