Bug Description

The URLs in the kubuntu metalink in http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/8.04.1/kubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.metalink point to the directory that contains Ubuntu ISOs,
for instance <url type="http" location="gb" preference="70">http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/kubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso</url>

The one in Xubuntu (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/8.04.1/release/xubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.metalink) points to <url type="http">http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/hardy/release//xubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso</url>, while the URL does exist, it should probably be ../releases/8.04.1/.. instead of ../releases/hardy/..

The metalink files on the download sites have been corrected, and the code used for generating said files has also been fixed.

There's still a near-identical problem with the AMD64 version of Hardy's Kubuntu-KDE4 remix, for both the 8.04 and 8.04.1 version. The kubuntu-kde4-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.metalink file doesn't exist. [The i386 desktop, and both alternate, do exist.] Wubi apparently defaults to the native architecture on [increasingly common] Windows 64-bit systems, which is when this bug showed up for me.
