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.

zsync 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.

I tried to patch out internal zlib and failed. I'll try it next week, again!

The zlib that is included in zsync is patched to support some more functions on
manipulating the compressed stream. Thus it is not possible to just patch it
out.

We (Robert Scheck, Toshio Kuratomi, ?Christoph Wickert? and I) already know
that. Robert is in contact with upstream (zlib, rync and zsync) to find a
solution.
