no matches in file

[Julian Pace Ross]

Hi, I have two versions of a file that in theory should be quite similar...
however, the transfer is taking more or less the same time as though the
whole file is being transferred.

I tried some experiments, specifiying -v three times and also using --stats.

This kind of looked interesting:
total: matches=0  hash_hits=411107964  false_alarms=11057 data=1053238900

I guess this means that no blocks matched with the strong checksum??
What are hash hits exactly?

Thanks
Julian

PS The full output is a lot of text, but I can send it.

Just in case I will just give the -- stats output for now:
