Over the last few days my mirror started retransferring everything again. I didn't bother to figure out why; I finally went and added the get_newer=false parameter to my setup. New files and files whose _sizes_ change still get transferred. I just hope that people stick to the "rule" never to update a file without incrementing the version number in the file name. ...RickM...
