What are you using it for?  The OS choice should best fit the purpose.   I personally prefer Debian for just about everything but there are a few other applications that other builds are best suited for.

Surely the official ubuntu site? That's where I got mine. Much prefer it over Windows. Though if you're trying to leanr linux maybe something other than ubuntu or get a raspberry pi.

Have you enough disk space left?
Try using the torrent instead.

OK, just making sure.
Just use the official Ubuntu torrent to download. You can start and stop the download if you want then. There will be plenty of seeds.

Oh, and make sure you download the correct Ubuntu version for your CPU architecture, 32 or 64 bit.
If your not sure, use 32bit.

I have tried several distros, but I think you will like Ubuntu best. It is super easy to use, no harder than Mac or Winnxx.

I second that! I'm a fully converted Linux guy now  ;D (Ok I admit once in a while I still log into Windows to play games) Seriously though, I'm using the Xfce 64bit edition and it's totally awesome.
I would never have dared run 64bit win 7 with only 4gb of ram on my machine. Mint uses a lot less resources and 4gb is more than enough, everything super responsive  8)

I'm mostly a fedora project guy (red hat, centos) but just about anything will give you the basics. Just don't bring up systemd casually :).

This guy has got a lot of helpful shorts with basic how to that are nice.
