Well, it is a bit slower than just getting one big iso file because wget has to log into the FTP server for every package... IIRC the latest version of wget supports HTTP/1.1 persistent connections, so if you have a HTTP Debian server available and upgrade wget, it'll become a bit faster. The jigdo GUI application, due out sometime this century, supports HTTP/1.1 pipelining, which means that for HTTP servers, the speed will be very close to downloading a big iso. > Then I watched the tmp directory and saw that a lot of packages > there were stored and deleted without the iso getting bigger.

You missed something: jigdo first generates a big iso.tmp file which has the size of the final image, but it is *empty* (filled with zeroes). The idea is that if you haven't got enough disk space for the final image, it should fail as early as possible. Afterwards, the downloaded files are copied to the temporary image before being deleted from the tmp directory.
