    I suggest to try another mirror from the dropdown list on ubuntu.com. Maybe that server is overloaded.
    Or better: use a torrent if you know how that works. torrent speeds are great at the moment.

    wow, but what is your internet connection speed?
    because i was trying to download the torrent with azureus, i've got up speed limited to 5 kb and down speed unlimited but maximum download speed is 10 kb that i can reach.
    right now i'm downloading from another mirror, and it seemes ok( hope that).
    By the way , can anybody tell a url to seed the torrent or to download the torrent file so i can open it with azureus?
    by the way, is there difference between ktorrent and azureus(other the programm language and cache memmory)?

    Re: problem with downloading Hardy

    yeah, does seem silly for there not to be a torrent link on the main download page (unless I'm being blind?). All that bandwidth for FTP ain't gonna be cheap!
    ...and there seem to be a lot of fake torrents going around too

    still, can't wait for the download to finish! gonna be sweeet!

    I downloaded the torrent from here:
    http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/releases/8.04/

    The download speeds, using Ktorrent, were 400-500 kb.
