Description :
zsync is a file transfer program. 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.
