Jigsaw Download, or short jigdo, is a tool designed to ease the
|
||
|
|
distribution of very large files over the internet, for example CD or DVD
|
||
|
|
images. Its aim is to make downloading the images as easy for users as a
|
||
|
|
click on a direct download link in a browser, while avoiding all the
|
||
|
|
problems that server administrators have with hosting such large files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In short, it downloads individual files from various mirrors, then uses
|
||
|
|
them to produce CD or DVD images. Mainly used by the Debian project.
