I want to create an USB-stick with Ubuntu! I follow your example and download the start file. I get it as ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-i386.iso.torrent. When I start Rufus to create the USB stick, it will not find any ISO-file.



How do I get the ISO file for Ubuntu?

  • Ubuntu 14 is very old, the latest is 18.04. What version do you want?

    A torrent is not the ISO file itself. It is a means of getting the ISO file if you have installed a torrent client such as Bittorrent, uTorrent or Transmission. If you haven't, use the real ISO download link that can be found elsewhere on the page.

  • I'm just to unpatient trying to get it down to start learning about Linux. I found it out my self and have now downloaded the file! I installed BitTorrent and it downloaded it for me with the Torrent-file I got!

I hope this will help you.

I have downloaded a lot of Ubuntu .iso images over the years and every time I downloaded an Ubuntu .iso image it maxed out all the available capacity from my internet service provider, except for the single time I tried downloading the Ubuntu .iso file from a torrent mirror site which was a lot slower. Your mileage may vary, so if you don't want to waste your time waiting for the Ubuntu .iso to finish downloading you should try downloading it with both http and torrent, and cancel the download that is slower.



btw I always download all Ubuntu iso images from the official Ubuntu website and I use a download tool that has resume interrupted download functionality like wget or GNU Wget for Windows so I don't have to download the same bits twice.
