Yes, and you need to wait a week :(.
What I proposed is to create a small pool directory to set all packages
removed since the creation of a jigdo/template file. I assume it woudn't be
too long because in a week it will be deleted again.

Of course, with the current extension you'll need a lot of time ;)

Here in Spain our main ISP is upgrading from 256/128 adsl to 512/128 ( 45
€/month , VAT included). My line was upgraded Thusday, and I'm downloading
sarge-DVD-1 since yesterday. BTW, this morning has been released new
jigdo/template files. It seems I did the transition to new ones with
success :).
I'm hoping this time I'll be able to download DVD-1 before a file were
removed, I still need to download 1950 from 6737.
Have a nice weekend
Guillermo
