The prerelease page leaked by Ubuntu10.04 official version has been disabled.

Some people have downloaded the Ubuntu official version http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/.pool/to find the download link for the pre-release version based on their previous experience. The MD5/SHA1/SHA256 Verification Code of ubuntu 10.04 official version in the previous article Ubuntu10.04LTSFinal is also based on the data on this page. The traffic may be too large.

Before the official Ubuntu 10.04 version is about to be released, someone has found the download link for the pre-release version on the Ubuntu release website http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/.pool/based on previous experience. The MD5/SHA1/SHA256 Verification Code of Ubuntu 10.04 official version in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Final is also based on the data on this page. The Ubuntu Release Team may have closed the page due to excessive traffic and replaced it with the following text:

Images are distributed here so that mirrors can pick them up in time before release. images here may not be final even if they look as if they are; by distributing pre-release images here we can make final loading ing faster.

Please do not attempt to download images directly from this directory; by doing so, you are likely to contribute to delaying the release for everyone else, since we will have to wait longer for worldwide locking ing to complete.

-Ubuntu Release Team

The general idea is as follows:

System image files are distributed here so that the backup storage can be synchronized before the official version is released. The image files here are not necessarily the final version, although they look very similar. By distributing pre-release system images, we can make final images faster (?).

Please do not try to download the image directly from this directory. Doing so may delay others because we have to spend more time synchronizing the full ball mirror server.

Although the web page says "this is not necessarily the final version", it is time to make a new version. With the delivery, the faster the delivery to the later stage, it is estimated that the release on schedule will not be a problem.
