jigdo-lite
~~~~~~~~~~
This program enables you to retrieve big files (for example, CD/DVD
images) that someone offers for download in the form of ".jigdo"
files.

First, locate a site which offers such files with a ".jigdo" extension
- see <http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/> for CD and DVD images of
Debian Linux in jigdo format. Next, download the image as follows:

 - Double-click on the "jigdo-lite.bat" file.
 - The script will ask for the URL of a ".jigdo" file - enter the URL
   of your choice.
 - Follow the instructions printed by jigdo-lite - hopefully they will
   be self-explanatory.

Making jigdo-lite use your proxy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To make jigdo-lite use your proxy for its downloads, first
double-click on "jigdo-lite.bat" to start the program. As soon as the
input prompt has appeared, abort the program again and close the
command window.

You will find that jigdo-lite has created a file called
"jigdo-lite-settings.txt" in the same directory as this README.txt
file. Load this into an editor and find the line that starts with
"wgetOpts". The following switches can be added to the line:

-e ftp_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/
-e http_proxy=http://LOCAL-PROXY:PORT/
--proxy-user=USER
--proxy-passwd=PASSWORD

Of course, you only need --proxy-user/password if your proxy requires
authentication. The switches need to be added to the end of the
wgetOpts line *before* the final ' character. All options must be on
one line.
