hmm, dos? does that work with the long filenames?

are you running some kind of mc clone? maybe it (rsync is a batch?) wants to
set environment variables and can not. Give it more env space maybe? And do
not use mc, nc, dcc, whatever, you can not set envs under DOS when you run
mc clones.

Speedup 1.03 is practically no speedup at all. When you use the pseudo image
kit (you do use that, don't you?) you get a speedup of 20 at least. Plus you
are not transfering the whole image, which is what you are doing, when you
look at the transfered filee sizs/bytes written. You are perverting the idea
of rsync, its shall be used to decrease the network load, you are creating
the full network load plus a lot of CPU load on the rsync mirror. IMHO.
Why don't you buy a CD? Oh yeah, network is cheaper than CDs in the US...
