Index Jigdo

Jigdo (a portmanteau of "Jigsaw" and "download") is a utility typically used for downloading to piece together a large file, most commonly an optical disk image such as a CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc (BD) image, from many smaller individual constituent files.[1]

BitTorrent

BitTorrent, also referred to as simply torrent, is a communication protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P), which enables users to distribute data and electronic files over the Internet in a decentralized manner.

See Jigdo and BitTorrent

Blend word

In linguistics, a blend—also known as a blend word, lexical blend, or portmanteau—is a word formed, usually intentionally, by combining the sounds and meanings of two or more words.

See Jigdo and Blend word

Blu-ray

Blu-ray (Blu-ray Disc or BD) is a digital optical disc data storage format designed to supersede the DVD format.

See Jigdo and Blu-ray

C++

C++ (pronounced "C plus plus" and sometimes abbreviated as CPP) is a high-level, general-purpose programming language created by Danish computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup.

See Jigdo and C++

Cache (computing)

In computing, a cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere.

See Jigdo and Cache (computing)

Client–server model

The client–server model is a distributed application structure that partitions tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters, called clients.

See Jigdo and Client–server model

Compact disc

The compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format that was codeveloped by Philips and Sony to store and play digital audio recordings.

See Jigdo and Compact disc

Computer file

In computing, a computer file is a resource for recording data on a computer storage device, primarily identified by its filename.

See Jigdo and Computer file

Debian

Debian, also known as Debian GNU/Linux, is a Linux distribution composed of free and open-source software and optionally non-free firmware or software developed by the community-supported Debian Project, which was established by Ian Murdock on August 16, 1993.

See Jigdo and Debian

Disk image

A disk image is a snapshot of a storage device's structure and data typically stored in one or more computer files on another storage device.

See Jigdo and Disk image

Disk mirroring

In data storage, disk mirroring is the replication of logical disk volumes onto separate physical hard disks in real time to ensure continuous availability.

See Jigdo and Disk mirroring

Download

In computer networks, download means to receive data from a remote system, typically a server such as a web server, an FTP server, an email server, or other similar systems.

See Jigdo and Download

DVD

Porting

In software engineering, porting is the process of adapting software for the purpose of achieving some form of execution in a computing environment that is different from the one that a given program (meant for such execution) was originally designed for (e.g., different CPU, operating system, or third party library).

See Jigdo and Porting

Ubuntu
