Won't that still cause a big burden on the server? The main issue here is that it is quite unlikely that anybody else will actually be seeding these images, so almost any bittorent download will effectively result in the iso being downloaded from the main server anyway (if I understand text at getright.com correctly after quick read). I just see that the sarge/d-i page currently [1] does not even have direct links to the jigdo images, only to the iso's and bittorents. I've got a patch ready to _replace_ the bittorent links with jigdo links, but will wait with commit until this discussion is finished. [1] http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/debian-installer/
