Hi Phil,

I tried to find more info about "Manber-Hash". You are the author
of this perl module?

Unfortunately the link on this page is broken:

http://search.cpan.org/~pmarek/Digest-ManberHash-0.7/ManberHash.pm

This page does not exist any more:

My intention for the hash values enhancement for sftp is a deduplication
backup system. I would cut files into chunks with a fixed offset.
