[mirror-admin] rsync start faster?

[Garret Picchioni]

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.
