Hi,

I've been experiencing this error for 2 weeks now. I don't now ehat could be
a reason. I've tried to update with latest sources, but the same result (I'm
not sure for line number, but the rest is the same).

 rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (5881604 bytes received so far)
[generator]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)

My synchronized data is about - 6.6GB & lot of files. It used to run without
problems but now it can't finish rvrn 1 time. Interesting part is that it
breaks often at the same place it was filed previous run (I have a loop in
shell script). I've checked source and destination rights - everything
should be fine. I've even deleted part of destination data. It didn't
succeed to download the deleted data.
So what could be a reason for this problem? Where can I look for possible
problems? Is it in rsync or in communication channel (I use ssh tunneling)?
Do you think that rsync server might do this better?

10x in advance!
