For torrents please read post#8 in this thread.

Note: According to some posts, the md5 checksums of the May 31st daily build, the 'release candidates' found on '.pool' diectories on different mirrors earlier today and the official 6.06 release all tally.

Also please keep in mind the following considerations posted earlier by 3rdalbum if you intend to download 6.06 right now :

1. The people who are really REALLY keen on upgrading should dist-upgrade between May 26 and May 31st.
2. The people who would like to have the new system and have fast internet connections and high download limits should download between June 2nd and June 6th.
3. The people who have slower internet connections or lower download limits should download after June 6th.
4. The people who are already running Flight 7 or earlier should dist-upgrade on June 1st, as should the people in Group 1.

Alternatively, download the disc image(s) with BitTorrent and make them available to other users.

If a large enough number of people follow this guideline, then we won't see the mass of problems that occurred during last years' updates of SUSE and Mandriva.

http://www.ubuntu.com/download is still got 5.10 on it.
Update Manager finds nothing either.

6.06 has been announced on the mailling list about half an hour ago, I guess its just a short wait till the files find there way to all the distribution poits.

Its soo close.

I was already downloading :)

I Changed the 5.10 to 6.06 on a mirror url.. and the iso was there :)

I ll be installing it soon, i already have it for 3 months, but a clean install is always better then a apt-get upgrade :mrgreen:

most of the links on that page point to 5.10 on the mirrors oddly.
The european mirror does point to 6.06, but when it gets on to the mirror it can't find 6.06 lol.
Shouldn't be too long though.

I think I'm going to switch to torrent, my iso download from the servers is jumping around like a rabbit!
