I paid $16 and tried to download the latest version last night and got only part of it (the file ends in ...iso.part). Can someone tell me how to finish getting it? I paid with PayPal.

    That's quite a surprise. Who did you pay money and for what? – jokerdino Oct 25 '13 at 13:18
  • @jokerdino There's a big donation form on the download page these days. – Oli Oct 25 '13 at 13:20

    He means this: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/questions?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=lts – Rinzwind Oct 25 '13 at 13:21
  • @Oli Oh yeah... I remember now :S. But if it wasn't on the ubuntu.com page it could be bad. – Braiam Oct 25 '13 at 13:21

    You paid ? No you didn't pay anything. Ubuntu is Free, Always has been and always will be !! You made a contribution, that is what you did. You can skip this by clicking "Not now, take me to the download". As for you problem retry later or use an alternative download like torrent – NickTux Oct 25 '13 at 13:22

    .part usually means that Firefox did not complete the download. Just download it again, you do not need to donate once again, just skip that step. – Sitron_NO Oct 25 '13 at 13:23
  • @NikTh there are "donations" maybe OP wording was bad, check the answer below. – Braiam Oct 25 '13 at 13:24

Just go on the download page again and just hit "Not now, take me to the download ›" when you are asked if you want to make a donation. :)

See the image bottom left for the link (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/questions?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=lts):

Alternatives

You can try the official BitTorrent seeds or use Zsync (for Windows). But using a download manager that can continue aborted downloads would be the easiest option.

You could use wget -c http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=lts

Just change distro="desktop" or "server"; bits="32" or "64"; release= "lds" or "latest" if you want to download a different one.

If you use the -c option with wget, it will check to see if you already have a download started with that name and will automatically continue it.

This is also handy next time a new release comes out and you don't want to click your way through the site to get to the download. :)
