I am not quite sure which is is the correct place to post this. (I am
new here). Below
is my last post which never appeared anywhere in the system and got no
replies (may be i posted to the wrong topic or something).
In addition to what is described below, today I noticed that the Last
modified date is now April 15th. But I received a permission denied
error when I tried to download from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/jigdo-dvd/debian-testing-i386-DVD-1.jigdo.
I am sending this in hope that this will be helpful. I am really sorry
if I annoyed anyone.

Hi,
I am being a debian Etch user who got an Internet connection recently
wanted to download the testing version.
I could not download the jigdo files from the official site. This is
what happened
1. I went to http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/
2. Clicked Official jigdo files for the "testing" distribution -> DVD
-> i386(which points to
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/lenny_di_rc2/i386/jigdo-dvd/ )
3. Received the following error.
>>>Not Found
>>>The requested URL /cdimage/lenny_di_rc2/i386/jigdo-dvd/ was not found on this server.
4. Strangely though I was unable to download the jigdo files, I could
"Search Contents of .jigdo Files" and receive responses.
I thought writing about this to the maintainers would be helpful. Hope
it is useful.
Note: I substituted the lenny_di_rc2 part with weekly-builds in the
above url and tried
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/jigdo-dvd/. It
worked. But the files listed were Last modified on 30-Mar-2009. I was
a bit suspicious since the weekly builds can't be two weeks older, and
chose not to download.
