It seems  PubSub.com is offering a bounty  on an HTTP Delta implementation of RFC 3229.  This seems in response to the current meme  of RSS and Atom syndication bloat.   First off this is certainly *very* generous of them.  I'd like to see this happen more.  Good for you guys!  I myself  have thought that HTTP Deltas were a viable solution but I was wrong.  Of course most people aren't familiar with HTTP deltas.  Eseentially what an HTTP delta enables is a client/server differential protocol that can exchange a patch from the server to the client.

Shareaza is a multi-network peer-to-peer ( P2P ) file-sharing client supporting Gnutella2, Gnutella, eDonkey2000 ( eMule ), HTTP, FTP and BitTorrent protocols. Using C++, MFC and ATL, for Windows.   This is a major release.  A short summary of changes:     * Much better connectivity to all networks, with the most problems solved for Gnutella and eD2K.     * More stability of the client, with less crashes, freezes and memory leaks.     * Easier to set-up routers with Universal Plug&Play (UPnP).     * Transparancy with ALT+UP/DOWN arrow to see what's happening behind the window (It is the easter egg).     * A vastly improved skinning engine for more impressive skins.     * Ability to search by BTIH over G2.
