Subject: Re: Updating Ubuntu
Very true. It is ALWAYS that way for some days following a release. In a
week, the download part of an update will take 20 minutes. If you download
the .iso using a torrent even on release day it does not take long. But
when all the updaters are hitting the same servers, they are inundated.

BTW, I believe if you download the alternate install .iso, you can actually
upgrade from it though I would have to look up the details of how.
