It was not clear to me you were talking about jigdo all the time.

Do far I am not going to comment, because I do not have it running.
http://pi3.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~schiele/suse/ does not offer me a
workable solution. The other solutions ask me for a .jigdo file that I
don't have and am not aware of.

That would be nice, but I first need to get to a .jigdo file.

This is my comparison till this moment. ftp winds handsdown:
1. Go to the download page
2. Download
You have your iso's

For jigdo it is:
1. Go to the .jogdo download
2. Download jigdo
3. search for a .jigdo file
4. Run the program
5. ? Not sure if there is a step 5, as I did not get that far.

So what I am saying, although it might be a great tool, it will not be for
everybody to use. I am by no means a guru or wizzard, but I am also not
really a begeinner, so if I am stuck a lot of people will get stuck as
well. With FTP I can say, click on http://example.com/cd1.iso and so on.

With jigdo I need to have them install another program.

Again, perhaps really great, but hardly : "  not more difficult to explain
jigdo to the average user than it is to explain how to burn ISO images " 

As I understand, jigdo will also only download (and make) the iso's, so
that step has to be made for both.
