My experience with jigdo, many years ago and with Debian, was that it
actually worked much faster than a usual media download.

Is this the norm or was it a fluk that I got good results in the
couple of times I used it?

Speed aside, I agree that a single image file to download with a click
on a browser link will be much easier for Windows Winnies to deal
with.

(PS - Two anecdotes from today: 1. One of my workers, disappointed
that his new beefed laptop doesn't run the Vista that he bought with
it properly, is trying Ubuntu 7.10 and is still happy with it after a
week, even though support for the built-in webcam is too flaky to be
useable. 2. Today our development manager told me he can't watch the
OSCON 2007 online presentation about SQLite on his XP/IE setup while I
didn't have a problem watching it with Debian Etch/FF. Go figure :)).
