Hi, i can only test on Debian GNU/Linux, not on MS-Windows. I ran
$ jigdo-lite and was asked for the URL To start a new download, enter URL of .jigdo file. ... jigdo: I gave the one of CD 1 to keep the test small: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.3.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-8.3.0-amd64-CD-1.jigdo You will probably begin by http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.3.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/debian-8.3.0-amd64-DVD-1.jigdo It then showed lots of messages and asked Alternatively, just press enter if you want to start downloading the remaining files. Files to scan: So i just pressed enter. It asked me for a Debian mirror Debian mirror [http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/]: I just pressed enter again. Now i got internet traffic. jigdo-lite fetched the Debian packages which fit into the holes of the .template file. (At this point i have to re-iterate that netinst .iso CDs would fetch only what is needed when it is needed. So if internet is available at installation time in good quality ...) After a few minutes the CD image was complete OK: Checksums match, image is good! I am mistrusting and determine the MD5 checksum of the result file $ md5sum debian-8.3.0-amd64-CD-1.iso a3e289b886c43150431b05b091c51ad8 debian-8.3.0-amd64-CD-1.iso This matches the first line in http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.3.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/MD5SUMS To get the complete collection of all Debian packages you will have to do this with each of the 13 DVD .jigdo files in http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.3.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/ (The two debian-update DVDs are not needed, afaik.) With Blu-ray, it would be only 3 media images. Have a nice day :) Thomas
