Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal – Your Contribution!

The next version of Ubuntu is coming soon
We are just 3 days away from the release of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal which will come with Unity the new default Ubuntu Desktop session.

I wrote this small script long time ago and everytime i use it as a part of my contribution to my beloved Ubuntu, so you can use this script to download the torrent file of this release so that everybody share and benefits.

It is a good way to download Ubuntu releases using the torrent file especially when the regular release sites are slow, since it actually gets faster when there are lots of users downloading and sharing at once.
Below is the script, you just need a torrent client like rtorrent or deluge and wget:-

#!/bin/bash

DOWNLOADED="N"
while [ $DOWNLOADED = "N" ]; do
    if
        wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
    then
        DOWNLOADED="Y"
    else
        DOWNLOADED="N"
        sleep 300
    fi
done
rtorrent ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
