If rsync is available, it should save roughly the same amount of bandwidth that jigdo does. Jigdo saves bandwidth by not downloading unchanged packages, but changed packages are downloaded in full. This is roughly what rsync does (since the blocks in old and new versions of a package should match if and only if the package is unchanged). The downside is that rsync clobbers the server so its use may be discouraged. I do provide zsync files for TCs/RCs in http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/deltaisos/zsync/ , but suspect that approximately zero people use them. Zsync is not yet in the fedora repos (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490140 ), so you have to get a zsync client elsewhere. I've used it occasionally when I prematurely deleted an older ISO and needed to go backwards from a newer one to recover it. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
