Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS desktop 64-bit

[Glyn Price]

When I downloaded the Ubuntu iso-image file to my Asus A54C laptop

(Windows 7 Home Edition, Google Chrome) the download terminated

before all the file had downloaded. The size of the iso file was about

655MB rather than 981MB. I tried a number of changes including

using an ethernet line rather than wireless, but the problem

persisted. Tech. support at EE/orange, my Internet provider

(BrightBox router), said that as I had unlimited option on

my account with them I should have no problem with downloading

a 1GB file. When I tried burning this suspect iso file onto a

DVD disc I had the error message: The selected image file isn't valid.

I overcame this iso-file download problem by using the Internet

facility at the Cambridge Central Library. I transferred the good

iso-file from the library computer to my laptop using a USB stick

and then burned it to a DVD disc with no errors. Then the

installation from the burned disc onto my laptop alongside MS

Windows 7 worked with no problems.

Any comments about why I could not download a complete 1GB file

with my facility but could with the library facility would interest me.

I'm now using Terminal to get familiar with the Lynx commands.
