Download your favourite flavour of Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi 2 - torrent only

If you are looking for an operating system for your Raspberry Pi 2 take a look at Ubuntu Pi Flavour Maker. There are five different Ubuntu-based community driven distributions to choose from. Click your favourite flavour of Ubuntu below and save the torrent file on your hard disk:

• Ubuntu Server Minimal 15.10.1
• Ubuntu Server Standard 15.10.1
• Lubuntu 15.10.1
• Xubuntu 15.10.1
• Ubuntu MATE 15.10.1

Next you need to download the install image via torrent network. Install Transmission (on Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install transmission

Fire up Transmission, click open and choose torrent file. Your xz-compressed image starts to download.

To prepare a bootable USB stick use your favourite graphical app or command line (see those three lines below):

sudo apt-get install gddrescue
unxz ubuntu-minimal-15.10.1-server-armhf-raspberry-pi-2.img.xz
sudo ddrescue -d -D --force ubuntu-minimal-15.10.1-server-armhf-raspberry-pi-2.img /dev/sdx

(Do not write sdx but the real address of your SD-card; sda, sdb etc.)

On Windows, use 7-zip and  Win32DiskImager.
