It does... :-/
But if you make jigdo-file use a cache (jigdo-lite does) it'll be much
faster the second time.
I think I may be able to add "file:/" support to the jigdo-lite
script. That way, you'll be able to use your local mirror next time.
[.jigdo files broken.]

It turns out they aren't, they were changed since the 2.2r4 release!
For the moment, revert to rsync to get the rest, yes...
In the long run, either
- I manage to exclude from the scan all files that change often (e.g.
the keyring) so they end up in the template file,
- or I'll use the fallback mechanism of the jigdo GUI app; if that
is unable to download from an URL, it can use an alternative one.
The alternative would point to a CGI script on cdimage, which would
always be able to supply the data.

Yes, I just started a job on cdimage which recreates the templates,
they are going to appear at
<http://cdimage.debian.org/~atterer/jigdo/2.2r4> over the next hours.
The keyring, all READMEs etc. are now included in the template files
so they will *not* be downloaded separately by jigdo-lite. This way,
hopefully the problem will not turn up again.

That's OK - FWIW I think that the first jigdo beta test went down
pretty well. :)
