The following errors can be found in UbiquitySyslog.txt which was automatically attached to this bug report:

Sep 27 20:09:53 ubuntu kernel: [ 857.891206] SQUASHFS error: zlib decompression failed, data probably corrupt
Sep 27 20:09:53 ubuntu kernel: [ 857.891211] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x1d49c21e

It's possible you have a bad write to your media. If you're still having problems please try the option to check the integrity of the image from the installer boot menu, and if this confirms that the media is corrupt, try re-writing and/or re-downloading it.

I came to that conclusion myself, I successfully installed 20.04. I also failed installing 16.04 for the same reason.
 Thank you
