    Well rday it appears finished and I did rename it without the .tmp. 
I was asking the other guy if he had the same thing.

    It is a FACT that jigdo was not done but kept asking for another 
location to get files from. But it made no sense so I used Ctrl-c to end it.

    Since then I put the jigdo file on a DVD and it looks fine. I need 
to install it and see if that works properly. Or have you done that?

    The manual is coming along well and will send it to you when it 
looks done.
