[Bug 1881055] [NEW] Error reading medium

[Kristoffer Grundström]

Public bug reported:

I downloaded the iso using a torrent and as I started the installation
it crashed with an error saying that the medium is broken.

The USB stick used as an installation media works just fine with Windows
10 and Mageia (RPM based distro), but burning any iso of Ubuntu over
16.04 recreates this crash.
