Yeah. But will a public or workplace machine be able to run Jigdo ?
Afaik, only Jigdo can get you BD sized ISOs or the full set of 14 DVDs.
The other download paths offer at most the first 3 DVD images.

That's not totally trivial. I wrote an article about it:
  https://wiki.debian.org/JigdoOnLive

It mainly lacks hints for those who want to mount their MS-Windows
disk and let Debian Live's Jigdo store the download on that disk.

Proof reading and additional knowledge about MS-Windows or MacOS would
be really appreciated.


Have a nice day :)
