You can take a copy here:

Expect a heavy load on the servers now and the coming days.

It will probably be allot faster to get it as a Torrent than as a direct DL.

Thanks both for your replies, but neither of you have answered the question I asked.

Canonical is based in England I believe. I'm guessing they'll release it at 12 am their time.

Canonical just gives a day, not a time.

I seem to recall seeing an hourly count down in the past. I could be remembering the NASA shuttle launches too though.

I too saw that on one of the releases, so maybe it wasn't just the shuttle...:lolflag::cool:

Not probably, torrents will be faster. You will be lucky to get 40kb/sec with DL. Torrents will be blazing fast with the number of people using it.

All it takes is a little Googling and this thread comes up. I think it will answer your question.

Go to page 2. Supposedly, Ubuntu will come out at about 4 PM GMT, or 1600 UTC. That calcluates to 12 PM Eastern Daylight Time. I don't know how fast the download will be. The only Ubuntu image I've ever downloaded was Ubuntu 9.10 in February, and the download chugged along at about the maximun speed of my Internet connection.

Seriously, grab it today. Get the latest daily live ISO and install it and you will beat 80% of the people out there that don't get it.

If you don't think that is the release version, then tomorrow, download the MD5SUM from the site, rename your ISO to the correct name and run an MD5SUM check on it. It should match.

I believe it will be listed here once it is released:

It's usually released near the end of the UK working day, so around 5pm London time. Canonical employees are running around at the moment trying to get everything working :)

just wondering, i am currently running 10.04 lts rc 2, should i do a clean install when the final is released or just do a update?

Im thinking a clean install would be best, but not sure

I've heard they are holding it back due to a dual-boot bug found at the last minute.

Just do the normal upgrades (if you can get through to the servers), and you will end with the real 10.04.

I take it you can upgrade from Karmic normal release? I've got an error showing when checking for updates, has everything melted under the strain?

If you have a working 9.10, best is forgetting about 10.04 for the next week or two. When everything is settled down you can do an upgrade or a clean install, as you prefer.

Would not a download of the latest snapshot, dated 29th of April, result in an iso file that after install, can be updated via the normal Ubuntu updater applet in a couple minutes or so?

If that is the case, perhaps this is the fastest way to get 10.04 . . . . (I'm downloading now 11:15am US Central Standard time, at speeds ranging from 380 to 520 kps). . . see post #2 in this thread for download url.

The daily update itself is really good (on all hardware where I have tried it, that is). If you can update it, it is fine, and if the servers are overloaded just run it as is.
