You can download it from any US server. :)

The reason why I am asking, because my net connection is slow (it took me
6hrs to get the ubuntu dvd from a server i don't know where it is) and then
i found out that md5 numbers are incorrect.
I use sbc yahoo dsl and I don't know why, but the download rate is really
bad, that's why I 'm looking for a close servers so the download wont take
me tooooo long :)

THank you all

I find it better to download from a server in a different timezone. While
they're asleep I'm busy downloading :-)

Basel,

If your downloads are that slow you should be complaining to Yahoo or
changing ISP's It should only take you around 2Hr or so to downloads
the ISO , that's pretty much a max time.. if it taking 6 hrs I can down
load it here on a dial up account faster than that so I would say Yahoo
is the problem not the server.

Why not order the FREE cd ??

Or do you means even [url]https://shipit.ubuntu.com/[/url] is too slow for your
connection? ;-)

But you'll have to wait a few days for the next release.

That depends on his connection speed - not everyone has fast internet
access (many ISPs in the UK still offer 512kbit, although most have now
upped the minimum speed offered to 1Mbit)

Free clue: The Internet is not like the telephone. Your packets
move on your ISP's network until they reach a junction where they can
switch to the "other guy's" network. Try playing with traceroute, and
discover that a connection from your Ameritech/SBC address to Roosevelt
University (Congress Parkway and Michigan Avenue) may be routed via
New York, while a connection to the University of Chicago may be routed
via Denver or Seattle or some other "nearby" city.

Bottom line - pick a site that is in the US and don't worry about it.

It's probably going to be more effective to download the CD version to
install from and then do a net install of the additional stuff you want.
I also had several bad DVD downloads before I got an image that had the
correct MD5 sums.

Did you ever download your app? We could work something out to send you one from Wyoming. I just
received another package of CDs from the Ubuntu folks.

I'll check back herein for a reply.
