Alas, the jigdos often don't work.  I quit using jigdos, and went back 
to ISOs, for that reason.  Too much productivity lost to them, too much 
work to fix it when it breaks.  Sorry, host providers and mirrors, but 
they just aren't usable.  I am certainly not going to waste my time with 
one the size of a BD.
