Jigdo
Sign in to saveJigdo (a portmanteau of "Jigsaw" and "download") is a utility typically used for downloading to piece together a large file, most commonly an optical disk image such as a CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc (BD) image, from many smaller individual constituent files. The constituent files may be local and/or retrieved from one or more mirror sites. Jigdo's features are similar to BitTorrent, but unlike BitTorrent, Jigdo uses a client-server model, not peer-to-peer.

Jigdo（"Jigsaw download"，曲线下载）是为Debian套件设计的下载工具，可以从几个镜像站点下载不同的文件，然后再生成一个CD映像。 Jigdo的标准程序包括一个jigdo-file工具。用户要收集一个CD映像，先得下载一个非常小的imagename.jigdo文件。jigdo-file工具就将这个文件作为参数，从网络上获取相应的文件：imagename.template和一系列.deb包（在.jigdo文件中已经列出）。然后通过工具生成一个ISO映像。 Jigdo在Debian下实现，目的是减轻镜像站点的负荷，这些镜像站点一般都存放有许多的CD映像，不但要求大容量硬盘，还占用很多的带宽，这样才能够提供足够的光盘映像下载（一张CD是650M，DVD是4.7G）。而Jigdo的要求就不是这样了，它可以获取各自的Debian包，而不要求一定要单独归档的光盘映像，这样就可以直接从apt-get列表中完成取得下载，最后才在本机生成CD/DVD文件。
