Are you concerned about increased seek times, Matthias? IIRC people like Attila Nagy mentioned from time to time that jigdo thrashed their disks a bit more than regular .iso downloads.

IIRC jigdoofus uncompressed the data on the fly, which made it a bit slow, right? What's the right solution to cache the data from the .template file? Write the pieces to disk uncompressed? Re-compress them with something like LZO? Hmm, a FastCGI solution would also be possible for serving the files via HTTP (but not BitTorrent). I'm tempted...
