36 <para>Given the URL of a `<filename>.jigdo</filename>' file,
37 <command>jigdo-lite</command> downloads the large file (e.g. a CD
38 image) that has been made available through that URL.
39 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>wget</refentrytitle><manvolnum
40 >1</manvolnum></citerefentry> is used to download the necessary
41 pieces of administrative data (contained in the
42 `<filename>.jigdo</filename>' file and a corresponding
43 `<filename>.template</filename>' file) as well as the many pieces
44 that the large file is made from. The
45 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>jigdo-file</refentrytitle><manvolnum
46 >1</manvolnum></citerefentry> utility is used to reconstruct the
47 large file from the pieces.</para>
49 <para>`<filename>.jigdo</filename>' files that contain references
50 to Debian mirrors are treated specially: When such a file is
51 recognized, you are asked to select one mirror out of a list of
52 all Debian mirrors.</para>
54 <para>If <option>URL</option> is not given on the command line,
55 the script prompts for a location to download the
56 `<filename>.jigdo</filename>' file from.</para>
