will be 5less or was that 4less now?

I ordered a few, only because I need 32 bit and 64 bit, and it came with mac ones (which I didn't even need). I haven't installed it yet, but I will. Tbh, it costs them like 5 pounds everytime they send some disks.  If people like Sam wouldn't have abused the system, this wouldn't happen and the service would still have some use.

True. But this is only to stop abusers like sonicsam and traxor () from ordering a few thousand cds
People with fast internet connections can download the new versions but its people like me who have uber sucky connections that will suffer.
Abusers suck.

I order like 20 discs (thats what i did for the last version) cause i have friends at uni and friends who live near me. Instead of all of us ordering one-two, i order for all of us. Now its going to be more difficult for me to download 600 some MB at 8kbps (basically it takes a bit over a day approx) and then to write a copy and circulate it between all of them.
Too much of a pain tbh

err thats not the fastest... adsl2+ is where the top speed is 24000k/1000k

I got 5 Ubuntu discs a while ago to test it out and share it (like it said to ). I ran it off the CD as I didn't wanna install it reinstall windows to make it a dual boot machine. The startup time is the longest of any distro I've ever used! Now I know that it's slower running from a CD, but I used Knoppix in exactly the same way and with much better results.

I don't see people paying for discs when other distros are still available for free, especially seeing as Ubuntu doesn't seem to be as popular as others right now

Knoppix was designed as a LiveCD, its optimized as a LiveCD
