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.
|
||
