Bug Description

When ever I download a Ubuntu or Kubuntu Alternate CD, it always recieves corrupt packages, and interfers with the installation. During installation, it always says that some files are corrupt, or it can't download the package.

I just want to know:
-Does anyone else get this problem, or is it karma?

-Does the regular Desktop Install CD have his problem?

-Do I need an internet connection to install Ubuntu?

You don't need a connection to install Ubuntu...but it does help.

.iso files do get corrupted during transmission or burning on occasion.

You can use the MD5 Checksum option on the CD to check if your CD is valid - check the number against the sum posted on the download page. If they are the same, your CD should work just fine.
