Hi guys My rSync hangs too, it's a cywin-rsync..
It's a little different,
there is no error message

The following is all that is shown:

receiving file list ... done
zTransfer/html/thumbs/12592.jpg
zTransfer/html/thumbs/12593.jpg
zTransfer/html/thumbs/12594.jpg
<blah blah blah.. >
zTransfer/html/thumbs/12596.jpg
zTransfer/html/thumbs/12597.jpg


Then it just hangs like this, nothing else happens.
The rsync lasts around 10seconds

I don't know what is going on,
rsyncing to other hosts works fine, just this host is acting up.
The host is in a LAN with me and connection is fine.
Firewall is off, 

What else can be the problem?

Any reply will be appreciated
Thanks!

Has anyone tried commenting out HAVE_SOCKETPAIR from config.h to see if that is
the problem?  I mentioned somewhere that this seems to be the common case of
failure -- it fails for a local transfer and for a transfer going through a
remote shell, both of which use a socketpair() to communicate (unless
HAVE_SOCKETPAIR is undefined, in which case a normal pipe() would be used).

I'm marking the cygwin hang bugs as "LATER" because this is a bug
is in the
cygwin pipe code, so it is outside rsync's control.  We'll revisit this
issue
later after we hear that the cygwin code has been fixed.

I wonder if specifying a --bwlimit might work around the problem by ensuring
that the pipes can't fill up enough to deadlock.  While we're waiting
for a
cygwin fix, give that a try.
