What are the download speeds like out there?

[Duda Nogueira]

Hello Folks!

For a non speed limit, you should try the torrent.

As we are on the middle of the release of the all brand new version,
everybody is doing the same thing: downloading .iso files or  .deb packages.


It will certainly slow down all http mirrors.

And guess what? With the torrent network, it get faster as it gets popular.
And don't forget to let it open after the 20 minutes download, so you can
share your connection and upload the downloaded iso to others ubunteros.

PS: the torrent download is only available for the iso download. If you are
upgrading from 7.04... well, try searching for a good mirror :)
PS2: You can also download the .iso, burn a cd and insert into the ubuntu
box, so it will recognize the CD and ask for the upgrade automagically.

Yeah, i know, Ubuntu Rocks!

See ya!
