 Hi Ronald.

Size is an issue lately, things are getting added/pulled out of 
the mainline CD image as a result of the development process. 
A DVD-R(W) will do the trick. Also the iso's are mountable in a 
Virtual Machine and there is USBcreator for thumbdrives.

You can compare MD5sum hashes if you are concerned about 
the integrity of the download.

Realtime disscussion of Natty is found on IRC @ #ubuntu+1 on 
irc.freenode.com and we have some techberts in our own 
#ubuntu-au IRC channel which may also provide answers/hints.
