Some cool potential features/ changes. about wubiuefi HOT 3 OPEN

Some notes to your suggestions:

Faster download speeds.

Wubiuefi uses bittorrent downloads by default like old Wubi. It is possible to disable bittorrent downloads with --nobittorrent (see here which increases speed in my experience.

It is not a problem to change default value from bittorrent to direct download. But I do not know if it speeds up downloads in every case.

If you download more than one ISO the best option would be zsync. If you download only one ISO there is no advantage and zsync support is a major change.

• allow for normal installation to hard disk partition after booting into the live wubi environment.

The live environment contains the default installer of Ubuntu. So it is possible to use normal installation to hard disk. But there are limitations. The most important one is that the Windows partition with the ISO is mounted and therefore not available for install.

• Less bold fonts

I do not know the reason for the current using of bold fonts because Wubiuefi uses the old design of original Wubi. IMHO, the visibility of fonts depends on Windows settings and environment.

• Signed binaries (through the official utility), without certificate (or with if you wanna cough up some cash).

The used "sbsign" for the EFI boot loader is an official utility: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot/Signing

In 2013, when we were looking for a signed EFI boot loader for Wubiuefi (we need ntfs support for the Windows partition), it was the best solution without paying money to Microsoft. Maybe, it is time to review that old decision.

I meant a signed executable (WubiRelease.exe)

Thanks ! I was about to open an issue for Windows Binary signing , I guess for W1/8.1 , it is low priority as it is easy to explain how to click "more info" + "launch anyway"
