I know what you're trying to say, but let me clarify. Bittorrent *does* allow you to resume a previously-cancelled download, so in that sense, it downloads only what you don't already have locally. The difference is that bittorrent doesn't handle changed files; rsync and jigdo allow you to only update what's changed. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
