zsync

[BOB Merhebi]

Hello Phil,

Thanks for the reply & your suggestion. I already installed zsync & read
the man page (writing this mail offline). Just two question though:

1) how different is it from wget in regard of updating a previous download ?
2) (currently having 10.04 & 11.04 discs from a popular linux magazine),
how can I use this disc ?
3) do I use the file as an .ISO ? or should it be extracted ?

thanks for the help
