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Debian archive; they've been replaced by newer versions.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.
