Hi,

Have you tried using the torrent option
?
 
Or perhaps using zsync 
would work.  With zsync you could download 10MB and then restart the
download once it fails.

Something like:

#!/bin/bash
iter=1
while ! zsync
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/cosmic/release/lubuntu-18.10-desktop-i386.iso.zsync
do
iter=$(( iter + 1 ))
echo "Try #$iter"
[[ -f lubuntu-18.10-desktop-i386.iso ]] && ls -lah
lubuntu-18.10-desktop-i386.iso
done


This will automatically try to zsync repeatedly, until it fully finishes.

You will have to CTRL+C to stop it if you need to (or close the terminal
window)

However this will not work in windows, unless, perhaps you use WSL
though I have never used WSL and cannot actually confirm it.

If anyone is lurking and wanting to get more involved with the project,
now's your time to reach out. At the start of the 19.04 cycle we're
going to have a lot to do, and not just in terms of technical tasks, but
the Lubuntu Manual needs some more work as well as other non-technical
tasks. Feel free to send me an email with what you would like to help
with, and we can find a place for you. That's what at least seven people
(listed on the release announcement) did throughout the cycle, and we
found a place for them where every single one of them has made an
incredible impact on the project. It could be you, seriously!

Until the 19.04 codename is announced, I would encourage Lubuntu
contributors to take a short break if there's nothing to help with with
respect to 18.10. I'll personally be taking a short break from directly
contributing until the codename is announced, with the exception of
packages that need to be uploaded.

Thanks again, and have a good night.



All:

I began testing Lubuntu 18.10, and ran into some things that are 
different, which I wanted to ask about before I start making assumptions.


1. I usually test 32-bit systems first.  I noticed that a 32-bit DVD 
or USB would go a very long time without booting on a machine with 
64-bit hardware.  I gave up trying to boot it after about 10 minutes.  
There was no indication of a problem - it just took too long to boot 
(I finally gave up), from either USB or DVD.  However, that same 
live-DVD system booted fine on a machine with 32-bit hardware.  In the 
past, I could install a 32-bit OS on 64-bit hardware, but it appears 
it will not even boot on 18.10 (and there is no error indication).  Is 
this behavior expected?


2. I don't use QWERTY keyboard layout, so I change the keyboard layout 
to English-Dvorak.  On Lubuntu 18.10, I was unable to figure out how 
to do that.  If I keep trying, I may discover a way.  How do you 
change the keyboard layout on Lubuntu 18.10?


3. On past levels of Lubuntu, Thunderbird Mail was the e-mail client.  
I have had bad experiences in the past migrating to new e-mail 
clients, which appears to be necessary with Lubuntu 18.10.  I realize 
using Thunderbird Mail on Lubuntu 18.10 would cause a large number of 
libraries to be installed.  But if I am willing to put up with that, 
will Thunderbird Mail work on Lubuntu 18.10?

Regarding item 1, the 32-bit DVD boots successfully (and installs a 
system) as long as it is booted on 32-bit hardware.  It won't boot on 
64-bit hardware, and I think after a long-time, it reported an error 
that it couldn't find the bootable file (something like that).  The 
32-bit USB boots successfully on a 32-bit machine, but not on a 64-bit 
machine.


On item 2, I figured out how to change keyboard layouts.  It's very much 
like the prior level (I don't know why I didn't think of that).  You 
insert a keyboard control widget in the panel, and use that to add a new 
layout (DVORAK), and switch to it.


On item 3, I had to install a number of gnome-based tools (such a 
gdebi), and they worked okay, so perhaps Thunderbird Mail may work (I 
hope).
