stephen - thanks!

i tried your idea of using a torrent (transmission-gtk) and in 1 hr, the iso file for ubuntu 14.04 was transmitted to my download dir.

i tried to read the logs (debug and error) and found some but maybe it was from the sending torrent. i moved the file to another

dir and the pgm did not like when i started another torrent. so i hand to remove the history of the torrent as well. restart the

pgm (may not have had to this) and started the identical file from earlier. it started and finished just like the first one. I use

cmp to diff the files and they were identical. that is good.

the file size is a little over a gigabyte. the file name is ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso.

now i need to copy to a dvd. there is a trick to it (don't remember) so i must resume battle tomorrow.

thanks a lot!

david

ps

i remember a time when the external web would just slow down to a few bytes a second during the noon hr.

the other option is if you can leave your connection active use torrrent or django to grab your image. and just let them trickle overnight.

does anyone have a fast connection to be able to get the the latest release

for my machine and a blank disk. here is my machine: amd x86_64 bit

i can pick it up during day or maybe at the upcoming meeting on the 10th.

i have ubuntu distribution of October 2012 - 12.10. Ubuntu does not send

updates to it any more. they suggest using updating to 2013.10?. anyway,

why not update to the latest of 14.04? can anyone explain?

even if i have a slow connection, i have lots of time. what would be your

advice on downloading the iso? format to to disk, then transfer to dvd

on my crappy set up?
