Do you want jigdo to build an fedora 8 x86_64 dvd iso from the i386 dvd 
iso ?

Nice to give the actual link ;)

I would have thought it would need more than that, because there is a 
lot of differences between i386 and x86_64.

{Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso has 1983 files in Packages and 2045 in repoview, 
and there is not that many .noarch. and i386 packages on the x86_64}

That could total up to 700kb * 60 * 60 * 4 /8 Bytes = 1.26GBytes.

I recently used pyjido to build a F8-i386-DVD-unity iso from F8-i386 and 
yum updates folder. It took about 2 hours of downloading; this could 
have been faster if I adjusted the fedora mirrorlists in the jigdo file 
to point to my ISPs fedora mirror.

With pyjigdo {which requires jigdo} you can definitely stop the process 
and then restart it - though I did have to enter all the values again. 
The work in progress was under /var/cache/jigdo {from memory}. In fact I 
adjusted the jigdo save cache directory to a partition with enough 
space, moved the cache folder, and restarted pyjigdo.
