The total size is 0.5 TB according to the Host Summary page. The network is 
100 Mbit. The server is a Dell PE2900 with 4 GB. Probably the slowest link 
is the external USB drive used to hold the backup on the server, formatted 
as ext3. The client is mostly used for solid modeling.

I believe I'm using the default rsync args and don't know if there's 
anything I can do to improve things there:

            '--numeric-ids',
            '--perms',
            '--owner',
            '--group',
            '-D',
            '--links',
            '--hard-links',
            '--times',
            '--block-size=2048',
            '--recursive',

The rsyncd service running on the Windows client is from cwrsync, version 
3.0.8.
