Linux from the command line | Linux Tips & Tricks -- save bandwidth and sanity with zsync
zsync can save you a mountain of bandwidth, time and sanity by letting you download only the new parts of a file. For example, if you are downloading successive updates of a beta version of a Linux distribution, you could download a full 4GB ISO file each time, or just once and then maybe just a few megabytes the next time.
OR, maybe you are doing incremental backups of a system over an Internet connection (you are right?).
Note: To install on OpenSUSE use:
zypper in zsync
