it means that you doN#t need to run any daemon on the server side, but 
generate a smallish file with the checksums to place along with the original
file. zsync will then retrieve that checksum file and computer which parts 
of the original file it would need to get in order to reassemble it and get
exactly those parts ofer http range requests. really usefull to get files
that change frequently but not much, debian "Packages" files for example,
or cd images.
