You could have used zsync to redownload only corrupt bits and turn your
corrupted iso into working one =)

being fixed with new iso. For future reference you can manage the status

Bug description:
Binary package hint: usb-creator

I have been running Ubuntu 8.10 with a startup USB disk (1GB) made with unetbootin.  After booting in, I used the USB creator to install Ubuntu to a writable USB disk (4 GB).  Things worked well.  

Now that Ubuntu 9.04 came out, I wanted to try the same package with the new version. I successfully created a non-writable USB disk for 9.04 with unetbootin.  I am currently in Ubuntu 9.04 (on the 1 GB disk). However, when I use USB Creator to install 9.04 on the 4 GB disk, it consistently fails.  The error message points me to the log file.  These are the most recent lines in the log file:
