Jigdo Confusion

grefow · 01-30-2004, 07:48 AM

I'm in the process of running the Windoze version of Jigdo in order to get the ISO files for "Woody." Have never tried burning ISO's before, much less used Jigdo. But I have used Win versions of FTP apps, so you'd expect that I'd know enough not to specify *both* the US and NONUS files, wouldn't you? Wellllll ... you'd be wrong

Anyways, with 591 files still to go, I'm wondering if Jigdo is smart enough to ignore the US files and use the others? Or vice versa ? And why the two versions anyways?

I also downloaded both, they are separate and are labelled like that so no problem.

From Debian FAQ:

The non-US software cannot be legally stored on servers that are located in the USA - formerly, the reason for this used to be that it contained strong cryptographic code, today it is that the programs use algorithms covered by US patents.
