Hello Yang, it's great that mirror.ac.uk is mirroring Debian CDs - in my experience (as an exchange student in the UK...) it's one of the fastest sites in JANET.

The jigdo-mirror script does the same thing as jigdo-lite, but it's designed to be run non-interactively, e.g. by cron. It is still a bit beta, though - if you can find the time, try it out and tell me whether it works for you. > By the way, in case there's a new release, we would like to > construct debian CD iso images of the new version using jigdo rather > than pulling large iso images from the host site. Is it possible? Yes, jigdo-mirror supports this. It requires a full Debian mirror as well as a mirror of the jigdo/template files on the local machine. Using these, it can usually construct the images and will not have to download any further data. (It also requires a quite recent C++ compiler to compile the "jigdo-file" utility, e.g. GCC 2.95.)
