Hi,

If you mean the error message after the first input to jigdo-lite

  $ jigdo-lite
  ...
  To resume a half-finished download, enter name of .jigdo file.
  To start a new download, enter URL of .jigdo file.
  ...
  jigdo [...]: https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
  File `https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo' does not exist!

then you probably have an old jigdo-lite which cannot cope with https
URLs.

Workaround is to download .jigdo and .template file by other means:

  $ wget https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
  ...

  $ wget https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.template
  ...

and to go the path of "half-finished download":

  $ jigdo-lite
  ...
  jigdo [...]: debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo
  ...
  Files to scan:
  ...
  Debian mirror [...]: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/
  ...
  ... lots of package download messages ...
  ...
  Finished!
  The fact that you got this far is a strong indication that `debian-10.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso'
  ...
  OK: Checksums match, image is good!
  $

(One should check by the SHA256 in
  https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/10.0.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/SHA256SUMS
whether the image is indeed good.)

I guess that the visual pain of watching a multi-GB Jigdo download shall
keep people from testing their internet bandwidth by wgetting a ready-made
25 GB Blu-ray ISO image.


Have a nice day :)
