Given the number of very fast mirrors debian has for http and ftp, jigdo is actually a rather efficient method. And it supports updating one cd revision to the next (within the same release of course) with very minimal downloading. bittorrent can't do that. > Thanks again. At 77%/82% now.

I would say iso's in general are actually not that popular on debian given the netinstall is actually easier, takes much less time and a lot less downloading. The iso's only make sense for people installing on a machine that does not have an internet connection. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
