From the rsync man page: --outbuf=MODE This sets the output buffering mode. The mode can be None (aka Unbuffered), Line, or Block (aka Full). You may specify as little as a single letter for the mode, and use upper or lower case.
The main use of this option is to change Full buffering to Line buffering when rsync’s output is going to a file or pipe. You probably want to mess with this.
