<shrug> jigdo just does things differently.

It isn't necessary to google for missing files! (At least with jigdo-lite,
dunno about jigdo-easy. BTW, jigdo-easy is a "fork" of jigdo-lite.)
You probably noticed a few "404 not found" messages and thought that the
download would fail because of them. That is not the case - jigdo
*automatically* switches mirrors in this case! Just let it run and do its
thing.
Cheers,
