Thanks for the offer. Of course I'm willing to help, especially if we can make this a little easier for the next person. I appreciate you maintaining the tool.

At debian.org I downloaded
	 debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo and
	 debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.template,
then followed the link to download jigdo-win-0.8.0.zip from your site einval.com.

I should mention, for relative completeness, slightly different messages depending on argument:

> jigdo-lite debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst
	==> "child 1124(0x1F0) died before initialization with status code 0xC0000142"
> jigdo-lite debian-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
	==> "child 8752(0x1D4) died before initialization with status code 0xC0000142"

Both follow with "*** child state waiting for longjmp", then
"jigdo-lite: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable"

Awaiting instructions ;-)
