Bug Description

It should be possible for an average user to create a startup USB stick without the need to leave the program interface / manually search on the net for an iso file.

Canonical provides a fix way to get os images through http://cdimage.ubuntu.com so it should be possible to download images automatically using zsync and only download a bin-diff -something like:
zsync -i path-to-existing-iso url-new-iso.zsync

Mock-up of a possible download ui:
