rsync is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. rsync is freely available under the GNU General Public License. The GPG signing key that is used to sign the release files is available from the public pgp key-server network. If you have automatic key-fetching enabled, just running a normal "gpg --verify" will grab my key automatically. Or, feel free to grab the gpp key for Wayne Davison manually. rsync is a file transfer program for Unix systems. rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. Optionally preserves symbolic links, hard links, file ownership, permissions, devices and times. Internal pipelining reduces latency for multiple files.
