+From the zsync web page:
+
+"zsync is a file transfer program. 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)."
