Hi Devs. I've noticed recently that zsync fails to sync the Ubuntu Karmic final iso from the releases.ubuntu.com server. I was able to sync the beta and RC isos from this server without problems.

This is because zsync makes a very large number of requests per file retrieved, and so if zsync has to perform additional actions per request, it further increases the load on the target server. The person/entity who created this zsync file should change it to point directly to a URL where the target file can be retrieved without additional actions/redirects needing to be followed.

I've found some quick links and a howto here: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2009/10/29/use-zsync-to-update-existing-iso-images/ Can someone fix it? Or at least add some links of explanation at the zsync downloads page?
