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.I had better luck with it. That said, its been long since I used it. What are the relevant bug numbers?
I may have sent previous messages in this thread to some of the wrong place(s). Please excuse me.
I have never looked up bugs for this, nor filed any, because I never blamed jigdo-lite or wget, etc., for the problems I had. Most of the blame is in the system as a whole. It may be too fragile.
I have had problems using it in both Windows and Debian. Once or twice, it might have been bad timing on my part, picking a mirror that was down or trying to use it during a transition from last week's to this week's file set. But it is too unreliable for me. I follow the instructions and it doesn't work. Twenty times, it is more than coincidence.
Perhaps the problem is between the keyboard and chair? I will concede the possibility. But it is too much hassle for me to spend further time trying to make it work.
