/If/ you are for sure going to install Ubunutu *in* windows you could 
just get the wubi download:

    http://wubi-installer.org/

which is 1.5 megs.  It will install 9.04.

note:  I have only installed on a virtualbox XP machine and it worked 
like a charm and does download the OS itself.

If you want to just try the OS live then the dvd or cd .iso would be the 
download of choice.  Choosing the "Try Ubuntu without changing your 
disk" option /will not/ alter your system; though it does run slow (cd's 
are not hard drives).

Hope this helps.
