It's rarely ssh. Rsync has a history of subtle bugs, and thrashes the
link enough to sometimes expose bugs in the underlying TCP layer.

Upgrade both ends to rsync-2.5.6 (which has some bugfixes over 2.5.5) and
seem if things improve. You can get it here:

It gets worse: I rollerblade too. Anyway, the way asshole drivers can
tell conservative cyclists and pedestrians from the admittedly more
common liberal weenie kind is that we're the ones who shoot back.
