Hi Jamie,
I would be more than happy to work with you so that you could help us solve
the problem. I use cwrsync and the problem many have reported is that under
certain situations the upload process hangs.
I will be setting up a test bed and will provide the logs.
Thank you again,
Alan

Did anyone ever actually say _what_ the implementation problem is?
I have googled several times over the years about this, and nothing
clear shows up. Only that there is a problem which causes SSH and
rsync hangs and that it's to do with Cygwin or underlying
implementation - but never any details.
Yet, from that remark, I get the impression that somebody has an idea
what the implementation problem is.
If we knew what it was, we might have a chance at working around it.
