But jigdo is sometimes no option since it can not run on small machines... Last week I was in Algeria and have tried to download "Etch" using Jigdo but it requires to much resources on my Laptop TP570 (P2/366 with 192 MByte of memory) while downloading the CD-Iso's went fine with wget and will run even on a 486 with 64 MByte.
