Out of curiosity, I tried this myself.
The commands I used were:
wget https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.8.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
wget https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.8.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst.template
jigdo-lite debian-8.8.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
Here’s the last screenful of messages from jigdo-lite:
