  while that is *a* solution, it still requires more bandwidth than
jigdo should use.  i'm just saying that, if fedora proposes a
particular download technique, it should at least work.

p.s.  for some corporate environments (like mine), jigdo is acceptable
through the corporate firewall, while bittorrent isn't.  so i don't
have that choice.
