Are you seriously suggesting that I polluted more by cycling to work (for the extra food that I had to ingest) than I would if I drove instead? Can you point me to some reading material which would prove that? Thanks.

Making a bike pollutes more than making a car? Not even to mention usage pollution itself (which I primarily had in mind)... Also, just compare a lifespan of a car vs. a lifespan of a bicycle. I have several bicycles, the one I use mostly i

zsync can update any file, even an empty one (just rename it to the target file name). However, I am not sure how much you would actually save by using older ISOs.
