According to the Fedora Koji, the last version of rsync for Fedora 8
was 2.6.9. I'm guessing that specific feature was probably a 3.x
addition (which is bundled with Fedora 9). Compiling the latest rsync
from source was a piece of cake though, I did this on our mirror
running CentOS 5.2.<br>

<pre wrap="">The newer versions of rsync do this, but you need (apparently) support
for this on both ends. Kernel.org is slowly upgrading but we aren't
there yet (possibly - unless Fedora 8 has this in it, haven't checked
recently)
So you might want to check your version of rsync and take a look at
that.

<pre wrap="">My server syncs the whole "enchilada" so to speak from kernel.org. This is
about 290,000 files according to rsync. I'm no rsync expert, but rsync
doesn't even start transferring files until it has a complete (290k) file
list. Wouldn't it make sense for it to transfer the files incrementally as
the come across in that list instead of WAITING 5+ minutes for the whole
file list to come across?
