# jigdo-lite

## Name

jigdo-lite -- Download jigdo files using wget

## Synopsis

jigdo-lite [URL]

## DESCRIPTION

Given the URL of a ``.jigdo`' file, jigdo-lite downloads the large file (e.g. a CD image) that has been made available through that URL. wget(1) is used to download the necessary pieces of administrative data (contained in the ``.jigdo`' file and a corresponding ``.template`' file) as well as the many pieces that the large file is made from. The jigdo-file(1) utility is used to reconstruct the large file from the pieces.

``.jigdo`' files that contain references to Debian mirrors are treated specially: When such a file is recognized, you are asked to select one mirror out of a list of all Debian mirrors.

If `URL` is not given on the command line, the script prompts for a location to download the ``.jigdo`' file from.

## SEE ALSO

jigdo-file(1), wget(1) (or `info wget')

CD images for Debian GNU/Linux can be downloaded with jigdo.

## AUTHOR

Jigsaw Download was written by Richard Atterer `<jigdo@atterer.net>`, to make downloading of CD ROM images for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution more convenient.
