Israel,
There are reports of the mini.iso taking up to 90 minutes (max.) to
complete the 'Downloading Installer Components' step in a Virtual
environment...
I retried with the 13.10 flavour, left it and forgot it for an hour, and
lo and behold, it had progressed.
I may go back to the 12.04 version and leave it for an hour or more to see
if it works then...
JackT.
