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.
