rsync - May 2010 - Where to download the rsync binaries for Windows but NOT the cwrsync version?

When I go to page 

http://rsync.samba.org/download.html

then there is no download of the windows binaries except the cwRsync version.

However there must be such a pure-rsync binary version for Windows because I
have already an old, outdated rsync.exe v3.0.4

So is there elsewhere a download site for the newest rsync for windows?

Hi, 
quickly I only found a german version. 
Have a look at: http://it-em.net/cms/front_content.php?idart=43
Somewhere you can click on "Download von rsync.zip" and you will get
rsync_3.0.6
I' m not sure if there is a 3.0.7 version for windows?

Sent from the Samba - rsync mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Another approach is to install cygwin (a Unix-like
setup for Windows, based on libraries that "convert"
Unix calls to their Windows equivalent, roughly
speaking anyway), and request the rsync package.
However, this is rather a bit to do just to get
pre-built rsync. On the other hand, if you install
gcc, make, etc., with cygwin, you can build things
like rsync yourself. Other things you can get with
cygwin include ssh, good for encrypting the rsync
channel, etc. the site is www.cygwin.com.

This version is also built with cygwin, that's why the example uses
/cygdrive/...
There is no pure Windows binary of rsync as it relies on Posix functionality.
However there's no problem using the cygwin version, be it
"standalone" in
cwrsync or with the full cygwin installation.
