No, at least by default,  it uses the perl module File::RsyncP.

There is a significant advantage to  this.  The server can look in the pool for the file, and avoid transferring it if it's already got the file.

Theproblem is that it replaces modern rsync with some ancient embedded
version. If that one thing could be "patched" I would hardly care about any
other changes. The possibility of using modern rsync, and possibly "parsync"
to do multi-threaded transfers is about the only thing I currently have to
work around. I have even looked at commercial alternatives, and so far none
of them make any economic sense to use.
Doesn't BPC use whatever rsync version is available on the BPC-server?
