>From our experience the larger the number of files and the larger
the transfer the higher the chance of it stalling yes but it really
doesn't take much difference I had a 200Kb exe in a diff the other
day which just wouldn't transfer. It stalled every time on startup.
Some times enabling verbose and progress helps as well but not always.

I ended up spending the 2 hours to get SFU installed on the host in
the end it was pissing me off that much.

This definitely makes a difference with SCP but tbh I haven't tried
with rsync we always syncing from an cygwin box.
