Oh, then it should be simple. As long as you don't rsync them as they
are being created. Maybe you can unrar them to one directory and then
as the last step move them to an rsync directory or run rsync against them.

My torrent machine, which is also my email server, router, etc, is a 1gHz
AMD Duron with 512m of RAM. It's running RedHat 7 with so many upgrades that
I think the only file left intact is /etc/redhatversion. :-)
