The amount of "Literal data" (741,315,984 bytes) is the file data that
we had to send over the socket to the receiver.  The "Matched data"
(204,393,181 bytes) is the remainder of the file data that was found to
already exist in the files we updated.  Both of those figures add up to
the "Total transferred size" (945,709,165 bytes), which is the total
amount of file data in the 327 files that got updated by the transfer.

There were 161,530 total files found, and all those files (which
includes the ones that got updated) totaled 97,936,829,135 bytes.

The "Total bytes written" (745,547,229 bytes) includes the protocol
overhead, so if you subtract off the "Literal data" from that you'll
discover that there was an overhead of 4,231,245 bytes sent in the
same direction as the transfer (the overhead in the opposite direction
was 1,090,478 bytes).  Keep in mind that if you were pulling the files
instead of pushing them that the "Total bytes read" value would be the
one that contained the "Literal data" value.
