A method and system for downloading data from a one device to another. First, a device broadcasts a discovery packet that informs servers that data desired. Then servers send offer packets to the device, informing it that they are prepared to download data. The device chooses an offer and sends a start packet. The chosen server may then send the device a selected limit of data packets. The device will send acknowledgements to the server before it has received the server's selected limit. Upon receiving an acknowledgement, the server may again send up to the limit of data packets before again waiting for acknowledgement. For example, if the server is permitted to send a limit of 8 packets, the device may send an acknowledgement every 4 packets. This shortens download time by allowing server and device to operate simultaneously.

A method and system in a computer network for dynamically bundling and launching hypertext files within archive files, wherein the computer network includes at least one client connectable to one or more servers. Initially, an archive file is established within the computer network wherein particular subroutines are maintained. Thereafter, a particular hypertext file is associated with a selected subroutine maintained within the archive file. The particular hypertext file and the selected subroutine are subsequently bundled together within the archive file. Thereafter, the archive file is automatically transmitted to the client from a server maintained within the computer network, in response to a client request to download the hypertext file, such that the subroutine and the hypertext file are downloaded within a single selected archive file from the server, thereby reducing download time and increasing data packaging efficiency. The subroutine may be composed of an applet and the hypertext file may be based on an HTML file having tags which point to particular applets and data associated with the applets.

A system for trial use of application software comprises at least one user device and a server. The server is communicatively coupled to the user device.

Rather than comparing an old file with a new file to generate a set of patching instructions, and then compressing the patching instructions to generate a compact patch file for transmission to a user, a patch file is generated in a single operation. A compressor is pre-initialized in accordance with the old version of the file (e.g. in an LZ77 compressor, the history window is pre-loaded with the file). The pre-initialized compressor then compresses the new file, producing a patch file from which the new file can be generated. At the user's computer, a parallel process is performed, with the user's copy of the old file being used to pre-initialize a decompressor to which the patch file is then input. The output of the decompressor is the new file. The patch files generated and used in these processes are of significantly reduced size when compared to the prior art. Variations between copies of the old file as installed on different computers are also addressed, so that a single patch file can be applied irrespective of such variations. By so doing, the need for a multi-version patch file to handle such installation differences is eliminated, further reducing the size of the patch file when compared with prior art techniques. Such variations are addressed by “normalizing” the old file prior to application of the patch file. A temporary copy of the old file is typically made, and locations within the file at which the data may be unpredictable due to idiosyncrasies of the file's installation are changed to known or predictable values.
