− | Note that in each repo, there are two ISO images. One is named according to the released version (i.e smeserver-7.5.1-i386.iso), the other does not provide version information (i.e. smeserver-i386.iso). The non version ISO is the actual file and facilitates rsync updates for the mirrors. The versioned iso is actually a symlink to the non-versioned ISO so people know what version they are downloading. Both will download the same binary data to your computer. | + | Note that in each repo, there are two ISO images.

− | For updating a previous version of an iso you can use zsync, run the command from the same directory as your existing iso. zsync uses a control file to determine whether any blocks in the file are already known to the downloader, and only downloads the new blocks. If you don't have a previous iso zsync is still a good option, it will recover an interrupted download.
