Hi,
Open Solaris was killed by Oracle. For a little bit they renamed it Solaris Express, but that is now dead as well. Solaris 11 is now what has become of Open Solaris. You can get it here.
Oracle Solaris 11
In 2010 Open Solaris forked and is now called
illumos. You can get info on at the here:
About illumos - illumos - illumos wiki
Illumos also forked and there is anther distro called
OpenIndiana
You can dowload it here:
Download | OpenIndiana
All 3 are free to download. There is also a Ubuntu/Solaris hybrid as well.
I hope this helps you

jigdo-lite
JIGDO-LITE(1) JIGDO-LITE(1)
NAME
jigdo-lite - Download jigdo files using wget
SYNOPSIS
jigdo-lite [ URL ]
DESCRIPTION
See jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.
Given the URL of a `.jigdo' file, jigdo-lite downloads the large file (e.g. a CD image) that has been made available through that URL.
wget(1) is used to download the necessary pieces of administrative data (contained in the `.jigdo' file and a corresponding `.template'
file) as well as the many pieces that the large file is made from. The jigdo-file(1) utility is used to reconstruct the large file from the
pieces.
`.jigdo' files that contain references to Debian mirrors are treated specially: When such a file is recognized, you are asked to select one
mirror out of a list of all Debian mirrors.
If URL is not given on the command line, the script prompts for a location to download the `.jigdo' file from. The following command line
options are recognized:
-h --help
Output short summary of command syntax.
-v --version
Output version number.
--scan FILES
Do not ask for "Files to scan", use this path.
--noask
Do not ask any questions, instead behave as if the user had pressed Return at all prompts. This can be useful when running jigdo-
lite from cron jobs or in other non-interactive environments.
SEE ALSO
jigdo-file(1), jigdo-mirror(1), wget(1) (or `info wget')
CD images for Debian Linux can be downloaded with jigdo <URL:http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/>.
AUTHOR
Jigsaw Download <URL:http://atterer.net/jigdo/> was written by Richard Atterer <jigdo atterer.net>, to make downloading of CD ROM images
for the Debian Linux distribution more convenient.
