Fwd: Links to download Testing distribution does not work
I am not quite sure which is is the correct place to post this. Below
is my last post which never appeared anywhere in the system and got no
replies (may be i posted to the wrong topic or something).
In addition to what is described below, today I noticed that the Last
modified date is now April 15th. But I received a permission denied
error when I tried to download from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/jigdo-dvd/debian-testing-i386-DVD-1.jigdo.
I am sending this in hope that this will be helpful. I am really sorry
if I annoyed anyone.

Hi,
I am being a debian Etch user who got an Internet connection recently
wanted to download the testing version.
I could not download the jigdo files from the official site. This is
what happened
1. I went to http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/
2. Clicked Official jigdo files for the "testing" distribution -> DVD
-> i386(which points to
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/lenny_di_rc2/i386/jigdo-dvd/ )
3. Received the following error.
>>>Not Found
>>>The requested URL /cdimage/lenny_di_rc2/i386/jigdo-dvd/ was not found on this server.
4. Strangely though I was unable to download the jigdo files, I could
"Search Contents of .jigdo Files" and receive responses.
I thought writing about this to the maintainers would be helpful. Hope
it is useful.
Note: I substituted the lenny_di_rc2 part with weekly-builds in the
above url and tried
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/jigdo-dvd/. It
worked. But the files listed were Last modified on 30-Mar-2009. I was
a bit suspicious since the weekly builds can't be two weeks older, and
chose not to download.
