[IDLE]

i amnot able to DL it. website appears to be down.

 

[Not Bman]

Yea as do many other people see, the site is down lol

 

[IDLE]

good start to have a "record" day...

 

[gonaads]

Same thing happened the last time they tried this record thing. :s

 

[Not Bman]

The problem with it being down (which i think they are doing it to update stuff) is that a lot of people who are suppose to download from there site to include in the record are downloading from other sites, breaking the record.

 

[epk]

lol!... i should've caught the installer before prime time like some did

 

[gonaads]

I think this be it.

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0/win32/

for Windows users, just go to the directory with you language and boom.





[edit]
Well maybe not it. Or they are distracting people from it so as to do the download propper for the record.

Here is a message from them at this link:

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/index.html

These will not count on the downloads for the Record. but if you want the file


Filehippo FF 3.0 FINAL
Majorgeeks page FF 3.0 FINAL

 

[Not Bman]

Yea same here, and its because they were updating all their sites with new designs and new files. Plus the millions of people trying to access all their sites, and plus all the extension updates as well.

Filehippo FF 3.0 FINAL
Majorgeeks page FF 3.0 FINAL

Yea i am seeing those everywhere, but I want the record to be done.

 

[tdinc]

Yep, i am very surprised. they should have known a server meltdown was likely.
they should have been ready. both mozilla and spreadfirefox are down

 

[Not Bman]

Actually the last time I checked, all their sites are down. And from what I read they did known and was suppose to be ready, so what happened lol

 

[ming]

I'd love to hear ppl downloading this just to throw it in the recycle bin.
I might just do that myself... helps the download record.... not the install base.

 

[Geffy]

Has the fox caught fire and burnt to a crisp then?

 

[gonaads]

No, but it's running and they can't catch it.

I know a sysadmin who runs three mirrors for various bits and pieces of software, including Mozilla. He is pushing about 700 Mbits/sec from all three of his servers.

Let me remind you, osnn.net is connected to a 100 Mbit/sec uplink, so he has saturated that, 7 times over. 21 times over if you count all three servers.
