   Thanks, I have found the correct combination of server and client configs
to download the latest jigdo files for Debian Sarge through apt-proxy on a
Woody box, and it seems to be working apart from a persistent "not found"
error on 395 files required for the 2004-05-22 ISO-1. Not sure whether
either the temporary installation of Sarge on an old box is looking for a
previous partial download, or the files really are missing so the Woody box
is looking in vain. ISO's 2, 3, and 4 are now complete, 5 about half way, 6
to 13 not started, but at least I will have most of the files already in
apt-proxy ready for the next full version due out next weekend.
