It looks like the ISO metalink is broken for the Kubuntu install from Wubi. Can you please fix this? Or, help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I receive the following error:

'An error occurred:
Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO
For more information, please see the log file:
c:\users\bbentley\appdata\local\temp\wubi-12.04-rev269.log'

The log file contains the following errors:
