    rsync speed goes down over time
  • I've had some luck establishing the bottleneck using strace on both the sender side and receiver side. This will show if the sending rsync is waiting on local reads or remote writes and if the receiving rsync is waiting on network reads or local writes.

    Discworld by Terry Pratchett Humble Bundle - 35 novels for $18
  • They are DRMed, unlike the technical books I normally get from Humble. I should have read the fine print better and not believed the "works on all devices" summary. I trusted Humble and learned a good $18 lesson.
