I've checked the obvious places, including https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule (which states the release candidate should have gone up yesterday) and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/20.04/ . A pointer to a BitTorrent file/magnet link would be great but http download is fine - I'm looking to install it on a new system, not upgrade.

  • 20.04 has not been released yet ;-) – Pilot6 Apr 17 '20 at 19:11
  • @Pilot6 I addressed this by editing my question - thanks! – airbornemihir Apr 17 '20 at 19:14
  • Release candidates are off-topic at this site. – Pilot6 Apr 17 '20 at 19:15
  • Well, still we're here to help people.. So http://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ubuntu-20.04-beta-desktop-amd64.iso (the whole list is on this page: http://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/) – kanehekili Apr 17 '20 at 20:02

    Thanks @kanehekili I already have the beta, but since it'll be a while before I'm able to install I figured I'd wait for the RC. – airbornemihir Apr 17 '20 at 20:17

    @Pilot6 you yourself noted 20.04 was not yet released, and then you participated in closing it as an "end of life release" question - is that right? – airbornemihir Apr 17 '20 at 20:20
  • @airbornemihir I've installed beta and it will be updated until it is a "full" version. So you'll gain only some updates... Btw for a "beta" that image seems pretty mature. – kanehekili Apr 17 '20 at 20:25
  • I participated in closing for another reason. problems specific to development version of Ubuntu are off-topic as well. – Pilot6 Apr 17 '20 at 20:33

    The 'beta' is old now, it was current for less than 48 hours, if you want the latest you should use the daily (containing all upgrades since then; HUGE changes occurred early this week due to re-builds making beta very old). http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/ – guiverc Apr 17 '20 at 22:00
  • @guiverc I've just installed 185 packages, which took about 10 mins. So you're right, my "beta" was really old, but these 10 minutes changed everything... – kanehekili Apr 18 '20 at 19:55

If you can't find it on the web you can do sudo do-release-upgrade and that should work if not you can also do sudo do-release-upgrade -d and you will be upgraded to the latest version of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS might be a beta possibly if you add the -d at the end so don't use it on any critical systems.
