I get lots of 404s, I have tried a variety of debian mirrors.
DVD images seem to be not available ATM. Last ones were built Nov. 22 2002.
A lot of packages change in sarge frequently, so images have to rebuilt
often. The packages then disapear from archives/mirrors, as they are
replaced by newer ones. Sarge-images from FSN.hu have a fallback
mechanism built in, but this only works two wekks at most. You won't get
outdated packages from any other server! And if FSN.hu does not have
them in the fallback directory, you won't get them any more.
Conclusion: You can download the jigdo files, but ou can't build the images.
Try CD images.
Wouldn't it be better to move the old images to less intuitive place and
leave some message in sarge-dvd, so people don't try to download them?
Are the old images usefull at all?
