Website request: include an easy-to-get-to link to downloads

[Steve Lorimer]

IMHO, I think it is frustratingly difficult to download Ubuntu Gnome.

Here is how you currently download:

Google Ubuntu Gnome

This leads to https://ubuntugnome.org/


Read the page until you see: *The latest stable release is Ubuntu GNOME
15.10.*

This leads to a blog post:
https://ubuntugnome.org/ubuntu-gnome-15-10-is-released/


Read until you see: *Get Ubuntu GNOME 15.10. *Click on *Download Ubuntu
GNOME 15.10*

This takes you to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME


Read until you find *Please use the torrent link to download. *Click on
that link.

This takes you to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent


Read until you find *Ubuntu bittorrent files can be found at
http://releases.ubuntu.com/ <http://releases.ubuntu.com/>. *Click on that
link.

This takes you to http://releases.ubuntu.com/


Find and click on the appropriate link: *Ubuntu GNOME*. Click on that link.

This takes you to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/


Click *15.10*

This takes you to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/15.10/


Click *release*

This takes you to
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/15.10/release/


Find the appropriate file: *ubuntu-gnome-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent*

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/15.10/release/ubuntu-gnome-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent


Would it not be reasonable to have a link to the torrent directly on the
homepage?

Something like:

*Download latest version 15.10 via BitTorrent*

For reasons why bittorrent is best, and other ways to download if
required, *click
here*.
