It's asking for the Debian mirror location to download from, but you gave it a jigdo address so it sounds like it got stuck in a loop. From the Debian instructions here http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/: "At the prompt "Debian mirror", enter http://ftp.*XY*.debian.org/debian/, where *XY* is the two-letter code for your country (for example, us, de, uk. See the current list of available ftp.XY.debian.org locations<http://www.debian.org/mirror/list> .)" Here's the locations link if it doesn't come through on the email: http://www.debian.org/mirror/list And finally a great how-to if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-Jigdo/downloadingyourfirstimage.html.
