Problems with Debian DL
I'm just getting started with Linux and am having a very difficult time downloading Debian from their site using the "jigdo" program. Any suggestions?

Is it spitting out errors? If not, and is just quitting, you may just want to do a direct download. If you are on broadband, I highly reccomend downloading the sarge netinstall image, and using that instead. It's much newer, and I find easier to use.

It's giving me the error that it can't find the file or file doesn't exist. What is the sarge netinstall image you mentioned?

It's a .iso that's about 110mb you can get.
