Someone suggested that I monitor the download by clicking on the underscored down arrow on the Firefox tool bar. Thank you for that. I could see that the download failed. After some troubleshooting, I decided to look for updates to my current Ubuntu 16.04 version and by installing those, I believe, I fixed whatever problem was causing the download to fail. I tried downloading again and after about an hour it seemed to finish but that was it. I don't know if I need to extract files or save whatever I downloaded someplace where it will run.
I've now purchased Linux Format Presents: Ubuntu The Complete Guide and it's far from complete. The magazine seems to indicate that I must write the download to a disk or USB drive. Can I not just install Ubuntu 18.04 from the download? If I can, exactly how would I do that? There's no instructions for installing once you download.

if you did download an *.iso file you need to burn it to a cd/dvd or create a usb boot device. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do that. tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#0

Thank you for your help. I did actually download the .iso file, however it took a good deal of searching to find it. The tutorial was great and I wrote 18.04 to my USB stick and I was able to try out the new version and I then did the "install alongside my 16.04 version." Unfortunately, when I start my computer there's no option to run 18.04 instead of 16.04. I've tried entering the bios to see if there's a way to default to 18.04 and I couldn't see anyway to do that. Seeing the behavior I just saw makes me worried that if I overwrite 16.04 I might not be able to run anything.

booting the pc & holding [shift] (if efi) or [esc] (if legacy) should bring you to the Grub menu where you can toggle between OS's
