It has some other problems too but it should work well for CD images and can save you bandwidth. Zsync is interesting idea but I think that zsync code should be reviewed by experienced C programmer; I think that some bugs are still there. zsync can be extended to support download "compressed" data; http server can send compressed data stream, zsync doesn't support this. http client embedded in zsync can be improved too. Error handling can be improved.<br /><br />Anyway, usage of zsync is much easier as rsync usage.<br />Try zsync, it is easy! Do you have ubuntu-server CD? Do you want to have alternate CD too? Use zsync, easy task, and it saves you between 40 to 70% of your bandwidth..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128089761558623137.post-38029685422883221112009-10-08T21:33:51.782+05:302009-10-08T21:33:51.782+05:30zsync doesn't address problem of big files. 32...zsync doesn't address problem of big files. 32-bit version of zsync have a bug and it cannot download big files (filesize grater than 2^31).

In our use, we've found rsync with large files (4GB+) to be worse than just copying the file again. The normal speed improvement simply didn't exist.<br /><br />zsync ok with large files?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
