下载 Ubuntu 是非常直接简单的。你可以去它的 [官方网站](https://ubuntu.com)，点击 [桌面下载部分](https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop)，选择合适的 Ubuntu 版本并点击下载按钮。

Ubuntu 是以一个超过 2.5GB 大小的单一镜像形式提供的。直接下载对于拥有高速网络连接的人来说效果很好。


然而，如果你的网络连接很慢或不稳定，你将很难下载这样一个大文件。在这个过程中，下载可能会中断几次，或者可能需要几个小时。

### 通过 Torrent 下载 Ubuntu


如果你也困扰于受限数据或网络连接过慢，使用下载管理器或 torrent 将是一个更好的选择。我不打算在这个快速教程中讨论什么是 torrent。你只需要知道，通过 torrent，你可以在多个会话内下载一个大文件。


好的是，Ubuntu 实际上提供了通过 torrent 的下载。不好的是，它隐藏在网站上，如果你不熟悉它，很难猜到在哪。


如果你想通过 torrent 下载 Ubuntu，请到你所选择的 Ubuntu 版本中寻找**其他下载方式**。

点击这个“**alternative downloads and torrents**” 链接，它将打开一个新的网页。**在这个页面向下滚动**，看到 BitTorrent 部分。你会看到下载所有可用版本的 torrent 文件的选项。如果你要在你的个人电脑或笔记本电脑上使用 Ubuntu，你应该选择桌面版本。

阅读 [这篇文章以获得一些关于你应该使用哪个 Ubuntu 版本的指导](https://itsfoss.com/which-ubuntu-install/)。考虑到你要使用这个发行版，了解 [Ubuntu LTS 和非 LTS 版本会有所帮助](https://itsfoss.com/long-term-support-lts/)。


#### 你是如何使用下载的 torrent 文件来获取 Ubuntu 的？


我推测你知道如何使用 torrent。如果没有，让我为你快速总结一下。


你已经下载了一个几 KB 大小的 .torrent 文件。你需要下载并安装一个 Torrent 应用，比如 uTorrent 或 Deluge 或 BitTorrent。


我建议在 Windows 上使用 [uTorrent](https://www.utorrent.com/)。如果你使用的是某个 Linux 发行版，你应该已经有一个 [像 Transmission 这样的 torrent 客户端](https://itsfoss.com/best-torrent-ubuntu/)。如果没有，你可以从你的发行版的软件管理器中安装它。


当你安装了 Torrent 应用，运行它。现在拖放你从 Ubuntu 网站下载的 .torrent 文件。你也可以使用菜单中的打开选项。


当 torrent 文件被添加到 Torrent 应用中，它就开始下载该文件。如果你关闭了系统，下载就会暂停。再次启动 Torrent 应用，下载就会从同一个地方恢复。


当下载 100% 完成后，你可以用它来 [全新安装 Ubuntu](https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu/) 或 [与 Windows 双启动](https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/)。


享受 Ubuntu :)

OK
Downloading Ubuntu is pretty straightforward. You go to its [official website](https://ubuntu.com). Click on the [desktop download section](https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop), select the appropriate Ubuntu version and hit the download button.

Ubuntu is available as a single image of more than 2.5 GB in size. The direct download works well for people with high-speed internet connection.

However, if you have a slow or inconsistent internet connection, you’ll have a difficult time downloading such a big file. The download may be interrupted several times in the process or may take several hours.

## Downloading Ubuntu via Torrent

If you also suffer from limited data or slow internet connection, using a download manager or torrent would be a better option. I am not going to discuss what torrent is in this quick tutorial. Just know that with torrents, you can download a large file in a number of sessions.

The Good thing is that Ubuntu actually provides downloads via torrents. The bad thing is that it is hidden on the website and difficult to guess if you are not familiar with it.

If you want to download Ubuntu via torrent, go to your chosen Ubuntu version’s section and look for **alternative downloads**.

![ubuntu torrent download](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/04/ubuntu-torrent-download-800x505.png)

**Click on this “alternative downloads” link** and it will open a new web page. **Scroll down** on this page to see the BitTorrent section. You’ll see the option to download the torrent files for all the available versions. If you are going to use Ubuntu on your personal computer or laptop, you should go with the desktop version.

Read [this article to get some guidance on which Ubuntu version](https://itsfoss.com/which-ubuntu-install/) you should be using. Considering that you are going to use this distribution, having some ideas about [Ubuntu LTS and non-LTS release would be helpful](https://itsfoss.com/long-term-support-lts/).

### How do you use the download torrent file for getting Ubuntu?

I presumed that you know how to use torrent. If not, let me quickly summarize it for you.

You have downloaded a .torrent file of a few KB in size. You need to download and install a Torrent application like uTorrent or Deluge or BitTorrent.

I recommend using [uTorrent](https://www.utorrent.com/) on Windows. If you are using some Linux distribution, you should already have a [torrent client like Transmission](https://itsfoss.com/best-torrent-ubuntu/). If not, you can install it from your distribution’s software manager.

Once you have installed the torrent application, run it. Now drag and drop the .torrent file you had downloaded from the website of Ubuntu. You may also use the open with option from the menu.

Once the torrent file has been added to the Torrent application, it starts downloading the file. If you turn off the system, the download is paused. Start the Torrent application again and the download resumes from the same point.

When the download is 100% complete, you can use it to [install Ubuntu afresh](https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu/) or in [dual boot with Windows](https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/).

Enjoy Ubuntu :)
