Jidgo only is a bad idea. The format is largely unknown outside

won. Get over it and stop making things awkward with a download format
used almost exclusively for linux distributions. There are lots of
bittorrent clients on all operating systems, and lots of applications
for the almost identical, better named technology

Jigdo and bittorrent don't serve the same purpose. The former is a
means of constructing an ISO image from a regular Debian package
repository/mirror; the latter is a means of efficiently disseminating
ISO images that have already been built.
