I am copying from a rsync --daemon (have tried from both W2K/cygwin & Linux daemons) to a W2K machine.
Some files get copied every time even though they haven't been touched since the last copy. I have experimented and deturmined that the file size seems to be important. If the file is between 926 & 933 bytes long it will always be copied!! Other sizes and possibly other aspects of the files are causing this as well. I'm using rsync -avz otherend::something somewherelocal The same file from the same server into a Linux machine behaves exactly as it should (i.e. copied the first time only unless changed) uname -a on the W2K gives: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 FRANKNT-2 1.3.4(0.47/3/2) 2001-11-05 16:15 i686 unknown and rsync --version rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26 Copyright (C) 1996-2002 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 32-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, no IPv6, 32-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums rsync comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

As far as I can see all files are updated, so nothing is lost, but it is wasting bandwidth which is one of the great things about rsync! Anyone seen this before? Anyone know if there are fixes for it?
