About:
zfec is a fast, portable, and programmable implementation of erasure coding. It includes a C library, a Python library, and a command-line tool. Erasure coding is also known as "forward error correction", which is the generation of redundant blocks of information such that if some blocks are lost then the original data can be recovered from the remaining blocks. The RAID-5 algorithm is an erasure code, but while RAID-5 can recover from the loss of any one element, zfec can be parameterized to choose in advance the number of elements whose loss it can tolerate.

Any quick help? Thx

    The current release, 1.0.1, has build/install instructions in the README.

    http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/zfec

    I am now trying to figure out how to change the URLs on this freshmeat page to point to the current version.
