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)." + </longdescription> + +</pkgmetadata> |
