The manual says that a file being transfered is removed if rsync gets an interruption and --partial is not used or implied by other options like partial-dir or delay-updates. However I've found that a file was left after interruption, with a zero size. Would it be possible that rsync doesn't delete the partial file if it's not yet written to it? This is 3.0.6 on linux. Both processes were killed with the same command, kill pid1 pid2.

A temp file, or the destination file? You didn't use --inplace, right? Rsync 2.6.8 had a bug where it could leave a temp file when interrupted, but I don't see any such problem with 3.0.6. ..wayne..
