Not internally. You could create a tweaked version of
rsh/remsh/ssh that would break the connection but i can't
say that rsync would react all that well (older versions have
been known to go runaway).
I'm afraid the only reason i could see using this would be
to comply with a max MB/day restriction of an ISP.
It would probably be better break the job up, accumulate the
transfer-quantity of each sub-job and stop when the total
exceeds a threshold.
