           Summary: "rsync -v -rsync -v --inplace --progress --rsh=ssh -a"
                    reports erroneous and completely unrealistic transferred
                    size
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.6
          Platform: x86
               URL: http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/code/rsync/jing-
                    20081028-1mdv2010.0.src.rpm
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: shlomif at iglu.org.il
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


When doing:

{{{
rsync -v --inplace --progress --rsh=ssh -a jing-20081028-1mdv2010.0.src.rpm
shlomifish.org at ragnar.eonspace.net:
}}}

The transferred size almost immediately jumps to 2129920 bytes which is
completely unrealistic given that I have an ADSL connection with an upstream of
at most 25 KBytes/second. Afterwards it hangs after transferring 262,144 bytes,
and I constantly need to restart it. But please report the actual bytes
transferred over the connection rather than some unrealistic value.

I'm using --inplace so I can resume interrupted connections. (My ISP connection
has become flaky lately).

I'm using rsync-3.0.6-1mdv2010.0 on Mandriva Cooker.

Regards,

      Shlomi Fish
