[plug] rsync - how to tell if working?

[Craig Foster]

If you try :-
rsync -avv --progress --stats --partial rsync://host.name/folder/
./dumpithere/

You get a file listing like :-
...
e-smith/updates/5.5/Update1/README
********** (50)%
********** (100)%

...

and this at the end :-

rsync[6340] (receiver) heap statistics:

This works quite well to mirror 2.2GB files on a 56K Line:)
