+===== rsync Windoze Files =====
+You need to expand the time stamp difference for Windoze to not re-copy everything;
+<code>
+# always have vP for verbose and progress
+rsync --modify-window=5 -vPrltD NORMAL THING
+# NO LUCK for me like this, but adding this does only check file size
+rsync --size-only -vaP FROM/ TO/
