Hi, I have two versions of a file that in theory should be quite similar... however, the transfer is taking more or less the same time as though the whole file is being transferred. I tried some experiments, specifiying -v three times and also using --stats. This kind of looked interesting: total: matches=0 hash_hits=411107964 false_alarms=11057 data=1053238900 I guess this means that no blocks matched with the strong checksum?? What are hash hits exactly? Thanks Julian PS The full output is a lot of text, but I can send it. Just in case I will just give the -- stats output for now: Number of files: 1 Number of files transferred: 1 Total file size: 1053238900 bytes Total transferred file size: 1053238900 bytes Literal data: 1053238900 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 81 File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 1053367611 Total bytes received: 227297 -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
