Comment 1 for bug 701818

Hi Vish,

Thank you for reporting bugs. I do have a few questions though:

When using rsync, do you mean that it starts from 0% in the GUI?
How do you know it actually downloads the whole ISO (700mb) instead of only what has changed? How have you tested this?

I'm asking this because when downloading a, i.e. 2 day old ISO, the percentage that TestDrive GUI shows will always start from 0, to 100, regardless of whether it is downloading ~100mb, ~200mb, etc, or the ~700mb of a complete ISO. If you wanna see the different, you might wanna do the following:

1. System > Administration > System Monitor
2. Under Network History, check Total Received.
3. Start syncing an ISO that's 2 days old. Wait for it to finish and see the "Total Received" filed mentioned above.
4. To compare, do the same with an ISO that's not been previously downloaded. You will then see the difference.

However, I'll consider giving the option to select zsync as an alternate sync method in the future.

Best regards.
