12 Description: GTK+ download manager (beta version)
13 This is a BETA version of the jigdo GTK+ download manager. In
14 particular, it is NOT yet capable of processing .jigdo files - use
15 jigdo-lite from the jigdo-file package for that!
17 This download manager features FTP and HTTP 1.1 support, pausing,
18 continuing and resuming of downloads, and automatic guessing of your

27 Description: Download Debian CD images from any Debian mirror
28 Using the jigdo-lite script contained in this package, you can use
29 your nearest "regular" Debian mirror to download Debian CD images,
30 instead of having to use one of the few, slow, overloaded mirrors
31 that offer the images as direct HTTP or FTP downloads. See
32 <http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/> for details.
34 Jigsaw Download, or short jigdo, is a scheme developed primarily to
35 make it easy to distribute huge filesystem images (e.g. CD (ISO9660)
36 or DVD (UDF) images) over the internet, but it could also be used for
37 other data which is awkward to handle due to its size, like
38 audio/video files or large software packages.
40 jigdo tries to ensure that the large file is downloaded in small
41 parts which can be stored on different servers. People who want to
42 download the image do so by telling the jigdo download tool to
43 process one ".jigdo" file; using it, jigdo downloads the parts and
44 reassembles the image. jigdo-file is used to prepare the files for
