Hi Daniel, if you let jigdo-lite running, it will eventually continue downloading further files and copy them to the image ...so it does work!

My intention when I implemented it was that 1) the image file should not be fragmented, and 2) the download should terminate early if there is not enough room on the hard drive. For this reason, jigdo-lite writes out the entire image when it first creates the .tmp file, filling up missing data with zero bytes. Later runs will be much faster because then only the data that was downloaded will be copied over into the .tmp file. Downloading all files first and only then creating the entire image will temporarily use up twice as much disk space. With the large size of some images, this is not an option IMHO. (Today, I would probably implement image creation differently though, with an explicit check for free disk space, and by using a sparse file in the hope that the filing system will take the hint and allocate it contiguously. Or you could download in the order of appearance in the image file...)
