Alternative downloads
There are several other ways to get Ubuntu including torrents, our network installer for older systems, and special configurations and links to our regional mirrors for our older (and newer) releases.
If you don't specifically require any of these installers, we recommend using our standard downloads.
BitTorrent
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer download network that sometimes enables higher download speeds and more reliable downloads of large files. You need a BitTorrent client on your computer to enable this download method.

Network installer
The network installer lets you install Ubuntu over a network. It includes the minimal set of packages needed to start and the rest of the packages are downloaded over the network. Since only current packages are downloaded, there is no need to upgrade packages immediately after installation.
The network installer is ideal if you have a computer that cannot run the graphical installer. It is also useful if you want to install Ubuntu on a large number of computers at once.
Starting with 22.04 LTS, users can use the Ubuntu Live installer to setup and configure a network install.
