Before you install Lubuntu, you need to retrieve the correct image. Lubuntu provides supports AMD64 CPU types also known as 64 bit with a new version every six months (supported for nine months), and every two years being a long term support release (supported for three years). If you have a 32 bit processor we unfortaently had to drop support but 18.04 LTS is still supported until 2021 for 32 bit.

Instead of downloading the image from one server, you can "torrent" the image, or download it from multiple sources instead of just one. This is often faster and saves the bandwidth of the Ubuntu cdimage servers.
