That's what I originally though too...I've tried it on one small
idex.htm file, and it does the same thing...

Does it work for very small transfers?
Does it work with --bwlimit set low enough so you never saturate your
link?
I can not rsync large amounts of data through my LinkSys without using
the
--bwlimit option. My LinkSys is doing NAT. I think it loses track of
the
address translation for the ssh connection under load. Then the ssh
session just stops. I use --bwlimit=100, which is a third of the
available bandwidth on the far end, and it just works.
It's not a problem particular to rsync, other ssh sessions sometimes
hang
too. I just have more problems with rsync because I move more data that
way. I always use "screen" for interactive sessions.

Could be a different problem, mine would often transfer quite a few
files
before stopping.
