Rsync 2.6.4 has a new option, --max-size=N, that can be used to filter
out any really big files from being synchronized.  For instance:

    rsync -av --max-size=10g host:/src/ /dest/

Beyond that, no -- there's no total-transfer-size limit.

I'm working on the release 2.6.4pre2 release that should be ready fairly
soon now.
