[03:20] <ojwb> hi, I'm trying to download hardy-dvd-i386.iso using jigdo, but it's ended complaining 150 files could not be downloaded
[03:21] <ojwb> e.g. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubiquity/ubiquity-frontend-gtk_1.7.2_i386.deb
[03:21] <ojwb> looking in that directory, there are older versions, and 1.7.3
[03:26] <LaserJock> ojwb: does jigdo download the .debs directly?
[03:26] <ojwb> essentially, yes
[03:27] <LaserJock> I would think it'd download the .iso
[03:27] <ojwb> I tried, but it was awfully slow
[03:27] <ojwb> so I gave up and used jigdo
[03:27] <ojwb> which is much faster
[03:27] <LaserJock> hmm
[03:27] <LaserJock> well that would be odd to me
[03:27] <LaserJock> since packages come and go
[03:27] <ojwb> it has splits the DVD up into all the bits it can get from packages (which it gets from the archive) and everything else (which is in a ~700MB "template")
[03:28] <ojwb> it does rely on the packages being available
[03:28] <LaserJock> perhaps a torrent would work better
[03:28] <ojwb> given the jigdo template was in an official download directory, I assumed they'd be stable
[03:28] <ojwb> given I've just downloaded ~4GB, I'd really like to get this to work
[03:28] <ojwb> I did try the torrents, but nobody was seeding them
[03:29] <ojwb> unless I can somehow get the torrent to "fill in the gaps"
[03:32] <ojwb> aha!
[03:33] <ojwb> it seems I can just use rsync to fill in the gaps
[03:33] * ojwb tries

[03:53] <ojwb> that seemed to work until the disk filled up (d'oh!)
[04:24] <ojwb> cool, that worked
[04:24] <ojwb> just in case anyone else hits the same problem, I got the answer here:

[04:25] <ojwb> anyway, bedtime for me

[09:36] <johnny> what method are you using? the applet ?
[09:36] <johnny> afaik, it should save the settings, and then only ask for keyring password and not make you reconfigure
