I was surprised -- I tried downloading it from the US around 7am this
morning, and had no problems at all (64-bit version).

Installed it in a virtual box, the install started at 8:26am, was
completed by 8:34am, and I had the Virtual Box Guest Additions
installed, and the system fully operational, by 8:37am.  NOTE: you no
longer need to do any software installations before installing the Guest
Additions (used to be, you had to install at least build-essentials
first).

But by then, it was close to 9:00am, and when I tried to install other
software apps, it was slooooooooooow (as in, Ubuntu restricted extras
started installing at 8:48, finished at 9:27).  So I just shut it down
for now, and will dink with it more later.
