What you're seeing is that etch has moved on from the point where those jigdo files were created (Monday). That means that some of the files referenced in the jigdo files may no longer be in the main Debian archive; they've been replaced by newer versions. To cope with this, jigdo will fall back to a different server containing a snapshot of all the files contained in the weekly builds for the last couple of months. If you let jigdo continue, it should eventually automatically cope with the missing files by downloading them from the snapshot server instead. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
