Thanks for jumping in,
For "Fresh Install". I chose https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/amd64/focal/ taking me to https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/amd64/focal/, and I chose "Direct download", which took me to 'Download Tip' and I moused over every word and nothing provides a download.
As a test, I also tried BitTorrent link, but too jumps to Tip age with Dloads.
I don't mind paying to dload, since 18.x worked OK'ish for me, sans being able to install TOR or networking with Windows. But I don't pay to try on a new pair of jeans
JUST TESTED AGAIN and this is where it is supposed to go http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/20.04/release/ubuntu-mate-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso but this is where it takes me https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/amd64/focal/thanks/
I really do appreciate your help,
