I would like the time/date to be set on the files still though, just  
not used a reason to send a few 100mb over the wan when the files are  
exactly the same..

Should I use -c to 'skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size'? That  
sounds like it would take quite a bit longer to perform, is there some  
way to say only checksum files who failed the faster size and mod-time  
tests?
