Hi Rakesh,
Just as a side-note, I hope you didn't download the "Woody" (Debian 3.0)
files. The new release is due out *very* soon, and is a major
improvement over the previous version. Unless you are are intending to
set up a production server, you will probably be best off downloading
the "testing" version, ie what will become the stable version shortly.
In particular, the installation process is vastly improved.
The current "testing" version is called "Sarge", and will probably be
released as Debian 3.1, though I think it deserves to be Debian 4.0.

As noted earlier, Jigdo just uses HTTP, so it should work for you.
