------- Comment #1 from matt at mattmccutchen.net  2009-05-19 21:50 CST -------
As stated in the man page description of --progress, the size shown is the
amount of the file reconstructed by the receiver so far.  I'm guessing the
receiver already had the correct first 2129920 bytes of the file from a
previous run, so the delta-transfer algorithm verifies quickly that those
2129920 bytes match the beginning of the source file and the size jumps to
2129920.  From that point on, literal data has to be sent, so progress is
slower.
