that should be fine, there may be incremental transfer done, which only
transfers changes.

I guess this forces full transfer.

refresh means how often to check for updates, but transfer happens only when
there's a change.

the difference in serial number is how change is detected.
Note that new serial must be bigger than the old one.

(there are measures if it's to be wrapped around zero).

what is your real problem?
