David, I don't know if your trouble was with the ftp site or not, but
you could try these others if you like
http://mirror.csit.fsu.edu/debian
http://mirror.csit.fsu.edu/debian-non-US/
or just
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/
http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US
I downloaded the linux version of jigdo-lite and it seems to work with
the us.debian site you tried, but I'm not using a proxy.
