I usually use rsync 2.5.4 on AIX and compression is not enabled by default. 2.5.5 may be different.

Another important option would be to use "-u" since it would only transfer a file if it has changed (even if it is in the file list).

You did not specifically mention it:  compression (-z) would probably
help more than anything.  Otherwise, you could do something like:

	I thought it was on by default ?


Have a file (ie filelist.txt) that contains the filename (with relative
paths), one file per line.

	That is what I have


rsync -rRWz `cat filelist.txt` user@hostname::module

The only limitation to this is if you have a large file list you may get
 a shell error.

	Yes that MIGHT be a problem for me too


It has already been suggested in this list, as well as by myself in the
rsync wishlist for a new option to specify a file that has a list of
files to be transferred.

	Perhaps i need to have a look a the sources and see what it takes
	to put that option in  (say --files)

	Thanx
