On the other hand i have possibly too much internal knowledge

When inflating the template it established a 20+ GB file on my
hard disk. Now it is busily downloading .deb files and puts
them into the holes of the template.
Network throughput with
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/
is about 80 percent of the local maximum. ETA 4+ hours if not
Deutsche Telekom cuts the line or many small packages are to be
downloaded.

http://atterer.org/jigdo says that
"This version is capable of creating DVD-sized images on NTFS
partitions (FAT32 only supports sizes up to 4 GB)."
It makes this obscure demand:
"In case you use WinZip, click on "Extract" and select
"Use folder names", don't just drag the files to a directory."
Well, if a filesystem can take files larger than 4 GiB, then
there is few reason to expect a limit at 22 GiB.
Have a nice day :)
