We're using the latest cwRsync in daemon mode over IPsec to transfer about 100 GB per day from several sources to our DR site, and we have not experienced any lock-ups for over a year. We did have such problems with older cwRsync versions long ago. What OS versions are involved? If your're using Win 2003 or newer, I would make sure that TCP Chimney offload is disabled. Apparently many third-party drivers enable TCP offload functions by default even though the drivers or hardware is known to be buggy in handling of some offload functions. We had all sorts of (very) intermittent connectivity problems (hangs, drops, etc.) until we disabled all TCP Offload functions on our severs with integrated Broadcom NICs. Problems would occur about once per week on a high-volume database server, and so it took forever to figure out what was going on.
