Where can I download the latest and greatest rsync Win32 binary?

It sounded like he had a working installation already, and just needed to 
add rsync to it.  I did mine by compiling it in (though i wonder if the 
one you supply might not have that annoying "conection reset by peer" 
error or whatever it was).  I tried rerunning setup once, just checking 
the packages i wanted to add, and it left me with a minimal installation, 
wiping out everything i didn't check in the setup.  I figured grabbing the 
tar.bz2 and untarring it in / would be more efficient for him.

Tim,

It's best not to provide a specific cygwin package URL like that.  If
anyone wants to download the Cygwin version of rsync, they should just
visit <http://cygwin.com/> (like you said) and use the Cygwin-supplied
setup.exe to install Cygwin and rsync.  One will probably have to
explicitly enable the rsync package installation, because I don't
think it comes by default.

The Cygwin setup.exe program does a few crucial things like define a
mount table in the Windows Registry.  If you just downloaded and
unpacked the bz2 file, without installing Cygwin with setup.exe, I
don't think rsync would work.

In response to Carlos' 2nd question: I've been watching this list for
over a year and I've never seen a non-Cygwin Windows port of rsync
advertised.  Since it works under Cygwin, why would one bother?

Cheers,
David
