Some discussion about possibly using zsync to speed up emerge downloads for Gentoo. The idea of building the data into an ISO so the download can be immediately mounted for use is certainly interesting. It's nice to see that zsync is holding up fairly well against rsync; but more importantly, being build on HTTP it has simpler requirements and can benefit from proxies, web caching etc.
