No offense, but software has come a long way in "years" and thus their download size has become larger so in the event your internet connection is lacking then it will take quite some time to download. Please also note that the servers are still under considerable load due to the recent release of the official images and therefore your upgrade time probably will not be as stellar is it possibly could be.
<br><br>Another thing to take into consideration is that distros such as debian, slackware, arch, gentoo, etc. do not come default with all the packages that *buntu variants do that gear the distro towards the desktop as its main operating platform and will result in many less default packages and also in less data to download (note that gentoo's download would be fast because the source packages are generally small but the compile time will require some patience).
