Imagine that you were a linux sys admin who wants to distribute a large dir to many servers, let’s say 50GB to 1000 servers. That will be a really boring task!!!

With “gingko” you may do it much more efficiently.

Gingko is a C/S style p2p files/dir transfer tool, its usage and behavior is pretty much like scp. It has the advantage listed below:

• Zero configure (start the server, then you can use it by just typing the cmd “gingko_clnt host:/path/to/src /path/to/dest”)
• High performance (a single server can service 1000 or more clients downloading data in parallel)
• Low system resource consumption (16MB memory usage, 2% ~ 7% cpu usage on a 2.4GHz Xeon)
• Continue last downloading enabled
• Upload & download bandwidth limitation enabled
• Low network noise (thanks to the usage of constant hashing)
