Hello Ali,

I was wondering if there is another server to download the daily build from. Or you might have a torrent or something.
cdimage.ubuntu.com is very slow.. it is taking forever to download, for sure it is packed with people all over the world
downloading all flavours of Ubuntu from there.
unfortunately I don't believe there are any sites that mirror the daily images. However once you have a full image, you can use zsync to update it without downloading the entire image again each day.

Thank you,

To be clear, should we be downloading the new image or if we've
received updates all along (due to having Ubuntu GNOME Beta 1
installed on a partition) do we essentially have it?

What we do need to do here simply is: find the right candidate image to be the final beta (beta 2) of Ubuntu GNOME Trusty Tahr.

That said, at this stage, IMHO, it is less helpful/pointless to try an already installed image on a machine. We need to go through the process from beginning: Download, check MD5SUM, install, etc.

You can however keep two installations. The one that is already installed so that you can test the upgrade process for example or anything else AND a new fresh installation for the very latest daily image which is soon - one of these - be the final beta.

What we do is:
1- We test the daily build.
2- Before the release of any milestone - please see the Release Schedule Wiki Page - we decide which image is ready to be the milestone release, say Beta 2.
3- The target is always find the less buggy image but in case there are some bugs, we mention that on the release notes.
4- Once a milestone is released, we back to test the daily builds.

Everything is explained in details on the Testing Wiki Page of Ubuntu GNOME.

Hope that helps :)
