Hi, I probably can't help. The only time I had rsync

Hi, thanks anyway for trying.

suggest is that your network bandwidth is being used up
by something else (whatever is using up that 4MB/s) but

Chances are low because this value appears exactly when I launch the rsyncing.


be another 8MB/s to spare. Wireshark could help you
identify what the traffic is.

Not sure that setting up Wireshark is valuable since I almost finished the transfer but thanks!


problem is the disk I/O speed on the gobook itself. Is

I use it daily and it works very well(it was a very high-end laptop for the beginning of the 21st century, costing something like $2500. The biggest problem is the lack of RAM)

that possible? I have no idea how old it is or what old
I/O speeds were like. Can you run top on the gobook? Is

I've of course done it. I'm forced to do it hundreds of time each day anyway.

there iowait? If so, that might be the problem. Also,

Where can I see this information?

if the gobook is really old, its network interface
might only be 10Mbps, but even that should mean 1.25MB/s
(if the disk I/O speed can keep up).

I've of course verified this, it's 100mb/s, and netstat indicates 11.8MB/s


Or you could try scp just to see if the transfer speed
is any different.


I'm not very enthusiastic about setting up a SSH server on any of both laptops. One of the maddest thing is that I manage a Web storage space on an distant server(in my collaborative-ISP datacenter) and transfers are quicker in scp to this one than in rsync between computers next to each others!
