Why is the download so slow? Why not add a torrent link?
- leaveyou 13y agoUbuntu is more popular than you would think :). I used torrents to download it and it went quite fast (huge numbers of seeders). Here you can find torrent links: reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/239wbp/1404_is_live/
- HNaTTY 13y agoI was able to basically saturate my connection downloading the torrent, 10.3mb/s. 10 hours later I'm still at a ratio of 0.038. Kind of surprising how many folks are seeding.
- leaveyou 13y agoYes, everyone tries to contribute with bandwidth :D. On reddit/ubuntu they advised us to do it in order to relieve some of the strain on Canonical servers and it was funny how many people were literally waiting & refreshing the page for the torrents to be available.
- Cameron_D 13y agoThere are torrent links on the Alternative Downloads page: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
- broodbucket 13y agoUse a local mirror, there's plenty out there. Here in Australia, quota-free downloads from the ISP's mirrors is really convenient. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors
- dutchbrit 13y agoDownloading at 2mb p/s here - if you want I can mirror it for you on a gigabit connection?
