If you mean the error message after the first input to jigdo-lite $ jigdo-lite ... To resume a half-finished download, enter name of .jigdo file. To start a new download, enter URL of .jigdo file. ... jigdo [...]: https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo File `https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo' does not exist! then you probably have an old jigdo-lite which cannot cope with https URLs. Workaround is to download .jigdo and .template file by other means: $ wget https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo ... $ wget https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.template ... and to go the path of "half-finished download": $ jigdo-lite ... jigdo [...]: debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo ... Files to scan: ... Debian mirror [...]: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ ... ... lots of package download messages ... ... Finished! The fact that you got this far is a strong indication that `debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso' ... OK: Checksums match, image is good! $ (One should check by the SHA256 in https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/SHA256SUMS whether the image is indeed good.) > As for the "most > people would not need them anyway" stance, I guess that the visual pain of watching a multi-GB Jigdo download shall keep people from testing their internet bandwidth by wgetting a ready-made 25 GB Blu-ray ISO image. Have a nice day :) Thomas
