Hmm. That never came up on my google search. On the server (the machine
to which content is being backed up) (Debian 3.0 stable):
2.5.6cvs protocol version 26
On the client (Mepis/Debian 3.0 unstable):
2.6.2 protocol version 28
and
"Modified for Debian to have --bwlimit-mod, a variation on the --bwlimit
algorithm."
You're saying you've seen this exact thing before and revving the
versions fixed it?
