There is `a helpful page on the Ubuntu Community Help wiki `_ that +can guide you in the right direction. + + +Downloading the image via BitTorrent +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +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. If you would like to +learn more about BitTorrent, take a look at `the Wikipedia page on the subject `_. + +In order to torrent the file, you need a BitTorrent client. We recommend `Transmission `_, an Open Source BitTorrent +client.

They are available on the `Ubuntu cdimage server `_, or you can use the direct +links provided below. + +Direct links: + - amd64 (`desktop `_, `alternate `_) + - i386 (`desktop `_, `alternate `_) + +After you have downloaded the link you need, open it in your BitTorrent client. This will download the image. After +this is done, we recommend that you leave your BitTorrent client open so you can seed this image for other people. + + +Downloading the image via zsync +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +zsync is a convenient application that will automatically verify the checksum of the image once downloaded. The +Lubuntu team uses this to download daily images as it will download the changes since the last image was released. + +In order to use zsync, you need to install it.
