Anyone tried windows binaries from www.gaztronics.net/rsync.php?

[Jim Salter]

I'm not entirely sure what that site's reason for existence is.  It says it
requires cygwin, and cygwin already comes pre-packaged with rsync, so ...?

As to whether the version of rsync that is packaged with Cygwin is "okay":
some people on this list have had problems with rsync under cygwin hanging
and not exiting properly.  I personally have not had any problems with it at
all (knock on wood) although the combo of rsync and OpenSSH does seem to be
far more of a CPU hog under cygwin than under a real *nix OS.
