I appear to have more experience than you in data compression in conjunction with large data transfers since I know it is possible and various possible techniques.

It is already compressed, thus you can not download a "modified chunk", it is all or nothing. You can have a look yourself at the metadata files on the server and find out what could be done.
The only current possibility is to publish diff files, like what the clam antivirus does.
Is anybody prepared to actually help me understand how the system currently works and think about how to improve it? Know-it-all it's-not-possible answers are not really what I'm looking for. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
