Alternative downloads
There are several other ways to get Ubuntu including torrents, which can potentially mean a quicker download, 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.
Other images and mirrors
For the full list of available Ubuntu images, we recommend you select a mirror local to you.
Past releases and other flavours
Looking for an older release of Ubuntu? Whether you need a POWER, IBMz (s390x), ARM, an obsolete release or a previous LTS point release with its original stack, you can find them in past releases.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
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.
For 22.04 LTS, users can use the new Ubuntu Live installer to setup and configure a network install.
