Comment (by robatino):

 Jesse, how would you feel about using zsync now, installing it from a 3rd-
 party repo such as DAG, as I described in

 http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2010-June/091341.html

 It doesn't pull in any other DAG dependencies, so you can just import
 DAG's key, download the one zsync RPM, and do a yum localinstall.  For
 people who have a fast enough connection that they disable yum-presto now
 (the ones who can download full RPMs faster than downloading drpms and
 rebuilding them), it would be faster than disos.  (I'm not one of those
 people, but it's still better than nothing, and I could continue to
 provide disos with a greatly reduced delay, except for Alpha TC1, which
 will still be almost a full download since almost all packages will have
 changed.)  It looks like it could be years before zsync gets into Fedora,
 and I don't see any reason why Fedora testers shouldn't use non-Fedora
 tools if they're useful.
