Parallel rsync launcher with fancy progress bars

AI Analysis

MidCozy

Parallel rsync with YAML config and progress bars—but rsync already parallelizes internally.

Strengths
  • Per-host concurrency limits prevent overwhelming target servers; YAML configuration is cleaner than shell loops.
  • Universal binary build (via cosmofy) removes Python dependency friction for ad-hoc deployment.
Weaknesses
  • rsync >= 3.1 has --parallel flag built-in; this wrapper adds marginal value over native parallelization.
  • No advanced features: no bandwidth throttling, retry logic on transient failures, or multi-tier network routing for WAN transfers.
Target Audience

System administrators and DevOps engineers managing bulk file transfers across multiple remote hosts
