My guess is that they are the same - one is the actual folder and the other 
is a pointer to it.

I've used the Bram Cohen BitTorrent - all I can say was that it was point 
and click. YMMV.

Hmmm. I run a batch file "jigdo-lite.bat" ... I don't have a "jigdo-lite.exe."

My own practice is that I download the ".jigdo" (and the ".template") to
my "jigdo-lite" folder from the Debian web page.

Here is my "jigdo-lite-settings.txt" : (this was a DVD)

jigdo='./sarge-i386-2.jigdo'
debianMirror='http://sluglug.ucsc.edu/debian/'
nonusMirror='http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu/debian-non-US/'
tmpDir='.'
jigdoOpts='--cache jigdo-file-cache.db'
wgetOpts='--passive-ftp --dot-style=mega --continue --timeout=30'
scanMenu='w:\ d:/debian '

You need more than the country code - I suggest modify your settings
something like the above and try again.
