Reading the docs, I think that jidgo will allow the user to download (say) a .iso and a .img (NAND) file by downloading the files that are contained in them and then re-assembling the .iso and .img files? In this case it's something we/anyone can implement, though I'm not sure it's going to serve a large portion of the target audience (I imagine they'll want only one of the options). > m
