Not for people who start downloading immediately before new jigdos are made available: The download can take a few days, so by the time jigdo tries the fallback mirror, that mirror already applies to the current week's jigdo files, not the previous week's. > Or are you talking about keeping the snapshot trees around even longer? Yes, but only in the sense that there must be an overlap of at least a few days during which two snapshot trees are available. I think this is fairly easy to implement in the jigdo files: You can have something like the following to try this week's snapshot first, then last week's snapshot: [Servers] Debian=http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/snapshot/cd/i386/Debian/ --try-last Debian=http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/snapshot/cd/i386/lastweek-Debian/ --try-last Apart from that, some additional disk space on gluck and a weekly "rm -rf lastweek-Debian; mv Debian lastweek-Debian" is needed.
