It allows you to download a file from +a remote web server, where you have a copy of an older version of the +file on your computer already. zsync downloads only the new parts of the +file. It uses the same algorithm as rsync. + +zsync does not require any special server software or a shell account on +the remote system (rsync, in comparison, requires that you have an rsh +or ssh account, or that the remote system runs rsyncd). Instead, it uses +a control file - a .zsync file - that describes the file to be +downloaded and enables zsync to work out which blocks it needs. This +file can be created by the admin of the web server hosting the download, +and placed alongside the file to download - it is generated once, then +any downloaders with zsync can use it. Alternatively, anyone can +download the file, make a .zsync and provide it to other users (this is +what I am doing for the moment). + +WWW: http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ |
