timestamp question

Rsync server A is the master server,
Servers B and C are is different parts of the world, and are set to mirror 
server A on a regular basis, but at different actual times (due to TZ 
differences).

Server D is mirroring Server B.

We'd like to change Server D to be mirroring Server C instead.

Previously when I've swapped between servers like this, vast swathes of the 
archive are deleted and redownloaded (I use -av --delete-after) for no reason 
other than the timestamp being different.

If I use -av -I, will it ignore the timestamps and only go on file size?

The archive in question is a several hundred GB linux distro archive so I'd 
rather not have to redownload it :)

Cheers,

Mark.
