jigdo is a tool designed to search a list of servers and locate the 
slowest or most broken ones and then hang trying to use them. It's good 
for updates and spins, bad for initial download.

My daughter has 50Mbit and as of 38hrs no install media, it took me 
~3.5hr to get media using torrent.

Matter of using the wrong tool for the job.

Incidentally, I don't see a "rescue CD" spin, while the live CDs are 
useful, they are not optimal. Too early for complaining, I'm just 
reminding at the moment. ;-)
