Anyone tried windows binaries from www.gaztronics.net/rsync.php?
[I'm not subscribed to this list, please CC me on replies] Hi, well, the topic says it all ;) I want to know if it's safe to use them (yes, i know it's not safe, but if someone says 'they fucked my computer' i will know i can't use them. If noone says anything i will find someone to test them ;)) Thanks. -- Piotrek irc: #debian.pl Mors Drosophilis melanogastribus!

I'm not entirely sure what that site's reason for existence is. It says it requires cygwin, and cygwin already comes pre-packaged with rsync, so ...? As to whether the version of rsync that is packaged with Cygwin is "okay": some people on this list have had problems with rsync under cygwin hanging and not exiting properly. I personally have not had any problems with it at all (knock on wood) although the combo of rsync and OpenSSH does seem to be far more of a CPU hog under cygwin than under a real *nix OS.
