that depends on how much the archive file changes. If it's a compressed
archive, rsync is unlikely to be able to speed up anything. If it's
uncompressed, I would guess it might work, but you'd have to try it out for
yourself (you can do that locally and just look at the statistics rsync -v
prints). I'd expect it to take quite a while to analyze the file before
transfer starts. Don't be disappointed if it doesn't work. How large is your
archive file, how slow is your network link?
