Updating Ubuntu

[Dazed_75]

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.
