Xdelta is a revolutionary way of creating and applying binary patches. It can be used to distribute patches for ISO images, so instead of downloading a 700MB ISO image of the new version of your favorite distro you can download only a 20MB-40MB patch and apply it using the xdelta3 program to the ISO image of the previous version obtaining thus the new ISO image. By using xdelta you can save both bandwidth and time.
Xdelta3 is available in antiX.
