I agree (naturally;-) In contrast to bt, jigdo is designed for the case that lots of HTTP/FTP servers around the world already hold the data, it just needs to be puzzled together in the right way. What's really missing is a GUI, applet, browser extension or similar to make the jigdo functionality available to a larger user audience. Unfortunately, my jigdo GUI efforts got stuck at the "80% done" level. I considered proposing work on it for the Google SoC, but like many things these days, it never happened due to me being too busy. :-/ Cheers, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | GnuPG key: 888354F7 | \/¯| http://atterer.net | 08A9 7B7D 3D13 3EF2 3D25 D157 79E6 F6DC 8883 54F7 ¯ '` ¯ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
