For anyone interested in Ubuntu especially highest speed available it could not be problem however for some standard speed its like a bit difficult as it increased to 750MB.

A cons that people interested might need a patience in order to finish up the download.

50MB isn't a very big difference.

Not a big deal for me got lots of DVDs and some spare USBs.

It is odd that they decide to do this for an LTS, where not many changes are usually made.

Thumbs up to that. They should be doing it for newer releases.
