Well, to avoid resending the same files, you'll need the -t option (unless you want to use -u and count on source file mtimes never being touched to a time other than the current time, but that may be susceptible to the same problem as -t). So let's try to fix the issue with -t. > I am syncing between Windows and Linux and it was keeping the > timestamps from the Windows side when copying to Linux.

I have never known rsync to mangle mtimes in transit, so I'm guessing that the apparent one-hour difference is a timezone issue. Rsync preserves mtimes in UTC, so if you rsync a file from one machine to another machine set to a different timezone, the second machine will naturally show a different local mtime for the file. Check that both machines have the timezone setting you expect, and if they are in different timezones, make sure they have the same *UTC* system time (as shown by "date -u"; I don't know the Windows equivalent).
