A Compiler Reader by the name of Azor informs us that the Ubuntu server is currently almost crippled. When I checked a few minutes ago the front page was just a list of mirrors. While that's a great testament to the popularity of Ubuntu and user's eagerness to upgrade to today's release, it makes downloading something of a pain.
But don't worry, we have alternatives. Using The Google earlier today, I stumbled across the [Ubuntu torrent files][1]. In addition to today's release, there's torrents for just about every version of Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu. So, in the interest of giving the Ubuntu site a rest, why not grab a torrent and use your favorite torrent client to download something wholesome and legal for once?
All these files have an info hash included so you can verify that what you downloaded is actually Ubuntu. And be sure to scroll down to the new version (7.04). There's also links to torrents for the server version as well as Xubuntu.
The torrent page loads in almost no time at all and my Kubuntu download currently has around 50 peers and is currently downloading at 65 KB/s -- much better than the web option.
