zsync is a file transfer program. It allows you to download a file from
a remote web server, where you have a copy of an older version of the
file on your computer already. zsync downloads only the new parts of the
file. It uses the same algorithm as rsync.
zsync does not require any special server software or a shell account on
the remote system (rsync, in comparison, requires that you have an rsh
or ssh account, or that the remote system runs rsyncd). Instead, it uses
a control file - a .zsync file - that describes the file to be
downloaded and enables zsync to work out which blocks it needs. This
file can be created by the admin of the web server hosting the download,
and placed alongside the file to download - it is generated once, then
any downloaders with zsync can use it. Alternatively, anyone can
download the file, make a .zsync and provide it to other users (this is
what I am doing for the moment).
tcpstat reports certain network interface statistics (such as
bandwidth) much like vmstat does for system statistics. It gets its
information by either monitoring a specific interface, or by reading
previously-saved tcpdump data from a file. It has been tested under
Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and BSD/OS.
TrafShow continuously displays the information regarding packet
traffic on the configured network interface that matches the boolean
expression. It periodically sorts and updates this information. It
may be useful for locating suspicious network traffic on the net.
This version is old but it's known as showed the most true results.
Based on the work of rdesktop, xrdp uses the remote desktop protocol to
present a GUI to the user.
The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux terminal
server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop and Microsoft's own
terminal server / remote desktop clients.
Unlike Windows NT/2000/2003 server, xrdp will not display a Windows desktop
but an X window desktop to the user.
Xrdp uses Xvnc or X11rdp to manage the X session.
ATP allows you to read and compose mail packets of the QWK format,
commonly used on PC-based BBS systems. With this program, you can
download all of your new e-mail and board messages as a QWK packet,
read them offline, compose replies to selected messages off-line,
then upload all of your replies as one QWK reply packet the next
time you call the BBS.
More and more people are posting binary files to usenet these days.
Because of limitations in the type data that usenet can accommodate,
binaries must be encoded into text, and because binary files are
commonly very large relative to text files usenet was designed to
handle, they frequently must be broken up into pieces.
aub, which stands for "assemble usenet binaries", automates the
reassembly process for you. aub determines whether or not any new
binaries have appeared in selected newsgroups since the last time it was
run, and if so, retrieves, organizes and decodes them, depositing them
in a configurable location. This process requires no human intervention
once aub has been configured. aub also keeps track of binaries which it
has seen some, but not all, of the pieces of. It remembers how to find
these old pieces, so that when new, previously missing pieces arrive at
your site, it will build the entire binary the next time it is run. It
also remembers which binaries it has already seen all of the pieces of
already, so that it does not waste time rebuilding the same binaries
over and over again.

``aub -m | more'' for the short form.
A semi-automatic newsgroup binary downloader. It assembles parts based
on subject headers and then offers them in an editor for the user to
choose which files he really wants.
