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. Where to Find Installation Images
The installation images are located on each Ubuntu mirror in the directory ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-s390x/current/images/ -- the MANIFEST lists each image and its purpose. The so called daily builds - that are not recommended for production use - can be downloaded directly from the Ubuntu 16.04 daily-build download page. But it's recommended to obtain the latest stable release from the Ubuntu for IBM LinuxONE and z Systems portal. The official beta release can be obtained from there as well. You may also want to have a look at the Ubuntu LinuxONE partner portal.
