For now, I'll just provide for a user defined bwlimit & timeout.
Perhaps in the future, we could have the recovery feature allow rsync to 
timeout after no activity, but then retry where it left off with some 
bwlimit.  So, for example, no bwlimit on first attempt, second attempt it 
could use a user-defined bwlimit, and if that fails make a third attempt with 
some lower bwlimit...
