The last time I updated my Ubuntu operating sytem, I downloaded a torrent file of the iso (in English, I downloaded a new disc using a torrent downloader, which is slow, but will continue the download if you turn off or a storm causes your connection to die. The “iso” file is essentially a digital image that you can burn to your disc without having to mess around). It downloaded an ISO file, which I mounted on a new disc. (there are a few Ubuntu programs that do this, but I use one called K3B . Once in awhile it eats/destroys discs but it’s easy enough for even a grandmom to use).
