Unfortunately there is no such option. But one option would be to change the
jigdo-lite to add such an option and provide the modified version with your
Windows tool and/or (even better) convince the author to include a patch that
does add this option to the upstream version.

Unfortunately not.

Did you add an absolute path to the search path? Maybe you are in the wrong
directory if you added a relative one. What exactly is the message?

It is save to have the full [Part] section.

download.opensuse.org is a redirector to different mirrors thus it is actually
a good idea to use it as the first server.  The current problem is that the
mirror infrastructure broke down due to the huge amount of data that was
provided.

I actually hope that your tool does solve this problem for these users.
