I agree (naturally;-)
In contrast to bt, jigdo is designed for the case that lots of HTTP/FTP
servers around the world already hold the data, it just needs to be puzzled
together in the right way.
What's really missing is a GUI, applet, browser extension or similar to
make the jigdo functionality available to a larger user audience.
Unfortunately, my jigdo GUI efforts got stuck at the "80% done" level. I
considered proposing work on it for the Google SoC, but like many things
these days, it never happened due to me being too busy. :-/
Cheers,
Richard
