It allows you to download a file from a +remote 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. However, where rsync is designed for synchronising +data from one computer to another within an organisation, zsync is designed for +file distribution, with one file on a server to be distributed to thousands of +downloaders. zsync requires no special server software — just a web server to +host the files — and imposes no extra load on the server, making it ideal for +large scale file distribution. + +zsync is open source, distributed under version 2 of the Artistic License. +Feedback, bugs reports and patches are welcome |
