jigdo : which??

[Beartooth Sciurivore]

	Meseems I goofed, royally.

	As described in an earlier thread, I got jigdo running (or so it 
seemed) with two lines -- one of which, I later discovered, was being 
written to /root (where I didn't want it; I had presumed I had to be root 
to run jigdo), and one to my home directory.

	I stopped the download to /root, and let the other run all 
afternoon and all night. This morning, I finally realized it was telling 
me it was working on a file with the name CD10 -- of, it seems, at least 
17.

	There probably really are people who *enjoy* swapping well over a 
dozen CDs in and out; and yes, I too still have a machine with no DVD 
drive. So I can see the reason they're made available.

	To anyone who is old, and tired, and in poor health, an external 
USB DVD drive is worth its weight in gold -- especially if each swap 
means a trip up and down stairs, or else (at best) sitting otherwise 
unoccupied through a whole install. And  Fedora has recognized and used 
such drives perfectly well for the last several releases.

	So, apparently, I grabbed the wrong URL. 

	Looking closer, however, I see several whose names contain "DVD"; 
F8 went on one DVD at release; surely it still does. So how do I tell 
which I want? In Particular, what is the difference between DVDx and DVD-
DLx??

	Also, how long should it take? Given a right choice of URL for a 
first use of jigdo, will it get a complete install DVD in about the time 
a browser would? Appreciably more? Less?
