BitTorrent downloads also can be stopped and resumed, unlike regular web browser downloads.BitTorrent downloads pieces of a file from other users' computers, easing up the load on Ubuntu servers-this kind of download consideration is particularly important the first few days after a new release.Windows Programs You Need BitTorrent ( download link): BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer download application with several advantages (for both you and the Ubuntu community at large) over a straight download through the web browser: Remember: no matter what burning program you use, never burn ISOs as data, and never extract the ISO using a zip-file program or WinRar.

This page outlines a step-by-step process that minimizes and checks for data corruption, giving you the greatest chance of having a working CD. The download page at the Ubuntu website constantly changes, so I've taken out screenshots of the website. The screenshots use Ubuntu 7.04 (also known as Feisty Fawn, which came out in April 2007 and is actually no longer supported) as an example, but the same principles apply to future releases of Ubuntu as well. These instructions are for downloading and burning an ISO. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
