I am downloading Ubuntu 20.04 on my Win 7 laptop, and it is taking a LONG time (it sez 5 hours). Is this OK? I am worried about leaving my laptop connected to the internet for so long. I always like to get in and get out QUICKLY.

Sounds like a very slow internet connection. You might try using a bit torrent software, such as "Transmission" and/or connecting to a coffeeshop wifi which should be better than what it sounds like you have.

You internet connection seems to be slow. If not, try using different mirrors or torrent. But it's fine to wait.
