some files already gzipped causes rsync to not compress any?

Greetings, We have encountered an odd performance issue in rsync (running version 2.4.6). We have an rsync server set up in our production environment (at a colo facility). A backup machine in our office (which is connected to the colo by a 3Mbit pipe) is doing a rsync -a -v -z --delete on a dire

Hi I've got rsync setup to replicate DNS for an irc network I help run. I'm the primary DNS, so I use the rsync client to connect to a friend running another DNS server, and he has the rsync daemon setup. the conf is as follows log file = /root/rsync.log [tinydns] path = /etc/tinydns/root/
