I'd be checking MTUs everywhere, especially if he's on ADSL. Can he do other large transfers over the OpenVPN link to the same server?
He says (this is going to be awkward!) on our irc channel:
nickb I assumed that MTUs would affect throughput a lot but not the fact of it arriving. nickb Is this because of udp? nickb tcp will break up and reassemble packets
UDP doesn't garantee packets arriving, or the order of the packets, so if one of them repeatedly disappears from the stream (MTU wrong), then it's possible that rsync will never recover from it.
(just a thought)
