rsync hangs after a few transferred files (Bash for Windows to FreeBSD)

I had this issue as well recently (as in yesterday), and what I found out, is that when I rsync without delta copy (using --whole-file/-W for whole file transfer), then everything works perfectly.

I know it is not the best solution, but a quick fix for now until it is patched.


I have the same problem. It only happens while rsyncing large files. I've come up with a workaround:

When a file stops transferring, I cancel it and then rsync whatever file stopped. For whatever reason, rsyncing the individual file always works. I usually have to do this for a few files before the original rsync goes through.

Super annoying, but I don't have any other solutions outside of not using the Ubuntu Bash under Windows 10, which would be disappointing.

My setup: rsyncing between Ubuntu running under Windows 10 and digitalocean's ubuntu server.
