Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs .

Hello Andre

please download via the torrents

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2008-April/000111.html http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
Here is the MD5 sums mirror
http://goukihq.org/MD5

Here is an alternative link
http://hobbsee.com/tmp/ for the .torrent files (releases.ubuntu.com is slow)

and if you are downloading normally,use local servers in Apt/Synaptic sources.

Regards

Bhavani Shankar.
