.metalink support for .iso

Registered by Shirish Agarwal

  Officially support .metalink format also for downloading .iso packages. Give links of the same on the most often .iso packages like ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu & edubuntu etc.

Couple of other proposals for the same :-

a) https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/metalink-iso-downloads
b) https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/metalink

Whiteboard

Progress has been made on this, see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/metalink-iso-downloads and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/140458/

Official .metalinks are at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ and other places. These are used by Wubi, but not seen from the main download page.
