The solution is simply to move the finished files out of the way. E.g.
once the download is complete, execute
mkdir old-files
mv woody* old-files/
(Note that the .jigdo/.template files must also be moved away or
deleted before you attempt to download a newer version with the same
name.)
Later, when you want to update the image, loop-mount
old-files/woody-i386-3.raw and pass to jigdo-lite the directory it is
mounted under. jigdo-lite will create ./woody-i386-3.raw using data
from old-files/woody-i386-3.raw.
Hope this helps,
Richard
