Maybe we can use the text on rsync.samba.org for the ldesc

sdesc: fast remote file transfer program (can use existing data to minimize
transfer)
ldesc: rsync is a file transfer program. rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which
provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by
sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that
both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
