Go through from the front page, following the various "Download Ubuntu/Get Ubuntu" links, and eventually you get a page with a set of sliders to choose how you divvy up your donation, a very prominent "Pay with Paypal" button at the lower-right, and a significantly less prominent, "No, just download Ubuntu" link off to the bottom left. If you're scanning quickly for the actual download link or just clicking through waiting for a download to start, it's not hard to miss the "free download" button. That's at about the same level of "service" as some of the skeevier random file-sharing websites I've occasionally tripped over. Nicely done, Canonical. The last large number of years I've just gone straight to releases.ubuntu.com when I needed a new shiny ISO. Hadn't realized the front-end was so distasteful. Not impressed. It's a good thing Ubuntu itself is so awesome, a lot of the rest of what Canonical gets up to leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Brian.
