Way be when I first looked at downloading Debian, I had a similar
experience. The difference was that I see no value in having to
download and install a special program that I'm going to only use once
to download one thing. I already have ways of downloading files via
ftp, http, etc., why do I need to mess with this new program?

At the time that lead me to Red Hat ISOs, because I didn't have to do
anything out of the ordinary to get them.


Nor did you ever need to with Debian. Jigdo is good when you can do one
of these:
1. Refresh an ISO to a respin
2. Download most of the files from an advantageous mirror that does not
carry the ISO. It might be from your own personal mirror.
3. Create different-sized ISOs from those you already have (see the
subject line)

If you want CD or DVD ISOs and the size you want is on your best mirror,
there is no point to jigdo.


So mirrors will be asked to mirror every Fedora Spin for the foreseeable future?
