YMMV Maybe so, but you have obviously done this several times previously, David. As far as the gui is concerned, no it is not needed, but the majority of us would like to have one with 2 or three file requesters to use, one for getting the src listing from the url, one for finding that src list on your machine once its been downloaded, and one to tell it where to put the results. With such a working gui that launched the jigdo-lite as a background process giving it the correct syntax and data as derived from the file requesters, I'd bet that jigdo usage would multiply by 10 in a week. >> Sorry to hear that.
