Thanks for the tip, Paul-- that could definitely be the issue:
net-misc/rsync
Available versions: 2.6.0-r5 2.6.0-r6 ~2.6.3-r1 ~2.6.4 ~2.6.5 ~2.6.6
Installed: 2.6.0-r6
For the time being, I've changed my sync mirror pool to the national one
(rather than the continental one), which seems like it's OK (but it's
early days yet, and I haven't tested extensively).
Is it worth going unstable with rsync for this? meaning, will using an
unstable rsync cause me any "real" problems, even as it (hopefully)
solves this (relatively minor) annoyance?
Thanks for the links; I'll look at the bugs later.
