Jigdo makes sense for making iso images from a mirror. It makes no
sense as a tool for doing a mirror.
There are mirror scripts that use rsync that work quite well. I haven't
seen zsync before although the description makes it sound like it is
meant for large iso images rather than mirroring an archive.
To do mirroring properly there is a page with a link to ftpsync scripts
that do it right using rsync. Not sure if it has ports support.
I can't remember. There is also debmirror.
