This is just an inquiry about how rsync calculates its transfer speeds.
I'm using rsync over ssh to pull data from our central office to another
office. Our central office is connected to the internet via T1 and the
other office is connected to the internet via DSL. rsync is being run at
the remote office to pull data down from the central office so I expect
to see transfer speeds at a maximum of ~150KB/s, or so. Instead I'm
seeing this on a ~310mb file (just one example):
0 0% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00
13372944 4% 12.75MB/s 0:00:23
22294152 7% 10.63MB/s 0:00:26
32173104 10% 10.23MB/s 0:00:26
....
313022664 99% 2.63MB/s 0:00:00
314732544 100% 6.05MB/s 0:00:49 (xfer#223, to-check=133384/557231)
The transfer took 49 seconds total so there must be some truth to the
speeds I'm seeing. I don't understand how this is being calculated
because we don't have that kind of bandwidth on either side of the
connection. The transfer in question is an update to the file, it
already existed at the remote office. Is the speed a result of how rsync
is transferring the changed file?
