rsync transfers only changed parts of files. The most notable case is
hdlists; with lftp you get 15MB every time, with rsycn you get several
KB (well, in order of magnitude :-). Another example is mdkinst. When
new installer is uploaded all dates change an lftp loads everything;
rsync checks if files were actually changed.
Rsync preserves "true" time that may be helpful sometimes.
Rsync looks generally fatser but it may be just my impression.
