rsync - Sep 2003 - 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.

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.
