Upgrading from a Torrent

If you're familiar with torrents and have an ISP that doesn't limit them, you can download the upgrade much more quickly. You'll also be sharing your bandwidth with other Ubuntu users and helping to reduce the load on the servers, which is especially useful on release days when the server overload causes problems. Basic instructions:

1. Download the ISO file for the alternate installation CD using the .torrent file found on http://releases.ubuntu.com

2. Mount the ISO as a drive or burn it to a physical CD
3. Follow the alternate CD upgrade instructions
