Since you state that using -z is almost always a bad idea, could you provide the rationale for that? I must be missing something.
I can't speak to that, but the obvious workaround is to use ssh's compression instead of rsync's:
rsync -av -e 'ssh -C' remotehost:remote.file local.file
From what I understand that's not really the same as having compression
inside rsync makes rsync transfers even better than only compressing the transport.
Thanks, Simon
