YES!!! Found someone to annoy with my questions about jigdo :P
Seriously though.. I'm going to make jigdo files for all the i386 and x86_64 discs and I'm gonna put them on my page ASAP. The first test I made (with the x86_64 DVD) resulted on .jigdo and a .template file that were both under 200KB.. I'll remake them just in case tomorrow and test a few more times, but I *think* I made it right...
Here's how I did it. Mounted the DVD iso on a folder and used it as the source of the rpm files (since the /os/ folder of every mirror is just an exploded version of the isos anyway) and then ran:
jigdo-file make-template --image=FC4-x86_64-DVD.iso --jigdo=jigdo/dvd-x86_64.jigdo --template=jigdo/dvd-x86_64.template --uri Label=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/x86_64/os/ /mnt/core/dvd/x86_64/
where /mnt/core/dvd/x86_64 is where I mounted the iso image.
I just need to see if it will work when I manually edit the jigdo file to add more mirrors (I plan to add all mirrors that carry FC4).
