Is Woody really what you want, you might be better off going
with Sarge. It is almost as stable, and has the benefit of
detecting more modern hardware. You can pick various
different install methods of Sarge.

Just choose your system, most likely I386, as well as the
type of install method you require. They even have a
bittorent method available, those so inclined. I would
suggest the net install cd method, that is if you have fast
internet connection.
I found this little tidbit under the jigdo section:
Next, remove the ".tmp" extension from jigdo-lite's temporary file
by renaming it, and pass both the remote URL and the local
filename to rsync: rsync
rsync://server.org/path/binary-i386-1.iso binary-i386-1.iso
This should get you the required files, you need, but I
would suggest if your still having problems, to use one of
the other methods listed in the above url. This is a link to
the jigdo page which as a small faq attached.

Good luck;
