Thanks, Al, yes. That is in fact the site I meant when I said "the
Ubuntu site", perhaps I should have been more specific. I followed the
links from ubuntu.com on down, ending up at the official Ubuntu
alternative downloads page, namely:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download

All the 11.04 BitTorrent links on that page fail the same way for me,
with "Object not found" (I didn't try any other links). They are all
links into the tree you mention, for example:

http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent

Have *you* tried those links - do they work for you?

I'm not sure why you are suggesting this, Lucio. zsync is a file
transfer protocol. Not even zsync can transfer an initial copy of a file
any faster than anything else. I'm sure its wonderful, but that site is
not a source of Ubuntu downloads. Maybe I missed something.

Regards, K.
