Hello. I have been running the same rsync script for several years and recently it has started hanging. The command I am running is:

Code:
rsync -rltgoDvvz --progress --exclude-from=/usr/bin/exclude_dirs /Users/****/ -e ssh  '****@***.com:/media/cavalry/Users/****/'

This is transferring files from a Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8 to a laptop running Ubuntu 12.10. After reading some threads I tried updating the version of rsync found on the Macbook. First I tried the newest version on homebrew (3.1.0) and when that didn't work I tried the same version that is running on the Ubuntu machine (3.0.9). Neither of these seemed to have solved the problem.

I am able to connect to the machine via ssh and the transfer begins and some files will be transferred but eventually the transfers will hang and rsync will timeout.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
