## 4.2. Downloading Files from Ubuntu Mirrors

To find the nearest (and thus probably the fastest) mirror, see the list of Ubuntu mirrors.

When downloading files from an Ubuntu mirror using FTP, be sure to download the files in binary mode, not text or automatic mode.

### 4.2.1. Where to Find Installation Images

The installation images are located on each Ubuntu mirror in the directory ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-amd64/current/images/ — the MANIFEST lists each image and its purpose.
