By the way (that's not to you Nik):

Why there is note that we provide only jigdo files for Sarge?
At least these mirrors has normal ISO files, and are listed below
section about Sarge images. (I've checked only http mirrors, but
probably some ftp mirrors have these images too).

http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/debian/debian-unofficial/sarge/
http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian-unofficial/sarge/
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/cd-images/debian-unofficial/sarge/
http://debian.linux.org.tw/debian-unofficial/sarge/
http://ftp.kfki.hu/linux/cdimages/debian-unofficial/sarge/

So why there is information only about jigdo if user can simply download
ISO too. We should put info about availability of normal ISO images,
especially when whole these images are described as unofficial.

IMO there should be info that some mirrors provide such ISOs.

That's only my 0.02$.
