13 Description: Download Debian CD/DVD/USB images from any Debian mirror
14 Using the jigdo-lite script contained in this package, you can use
15 your nearest "regular" Debian mirror to download Debian images,
16 instead of having to use one of the few, slow, overloaded mirrors
17 that offer the images as direct HTTP or FTP downloads. See

20 Jigsaw Download (for short jigdo) is a scheme developed primarily to
21 make it easy to distribute huge filesystem images (e.g. CD (ISO9660)
22 or DVD (UDF) images) over the internet, but it could also be used for
23 other data which is awkward to handle due to its size, like
24 audio/video files or large software packages.
26 jigdo tries to ensure that the large file is downloaded in small
27 parts which can be stored on different servers. People who want to
28 download the image do so by telling the jigdo download tool to
29 process one ".jigdo" file; using it, jigdo downloads the parts and
30 reassembles the image. jigdo-file is used to prepare the files for
