is that true? I was one of the first to ask for jigdo in the very beginning, but did see little interest on it after then

Hey! That looks like a nifty tool - I never encountered it before. Shucks, with it we could get rid of the CD iso images as well and just have template files for all the iso images and the factory tree of rpms - even less load on mirror sites (of course someone would have to make sure the template files were updated at the same time the factory tree changed).
AFAIK, jigdo uses wget for retreiving the files (good) and uses some magic then to make a cd/dvd from them. what is spectacular is that it uses several ftp servers at once it simply call download.opensuse.org each time "Connexion vers download.opensuse.org|195.135.221.130|:80...connecté. requête HTTP transmise, en attente de la réponse...302 Found" as the data can be in cache in the download server this should not be a problem it makes downloading very fast. this was overloading my usb2 drive, but I beg the syn problem is not correctly fixed (an graphic yast interface to do this would be very usefull- the xml stuf is horrible) "jigdo" (the GUI) is broken (and say so :-), jigdo-lite works but I don't see any bandwith control (wget...) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
