FWIW, I use rsync to sync my oggfiles between laptop and desktop, with `rsync --delete -uavn' to test, followed by another run without the `-n'. There are 2 GB-plus of files, and I find that the time required (beyond the actual transfering of files) is trivial. I just did a run (over a slow Internet connection) and it took about 1.5 sec to process. -- Pax vobiscum; pax cum omnibus. .
