Firefox 3 download blues

 

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been having a rough time getting through Mozilla web site to download the newly released  Firefox 3 browser. It seems that, I’m not the only one going through Firefox download day blues though.

Erik Larkin from pcworld.com  reported that according to Mozilla their servers are getting hit by 14,000 downloads per minute. [So at 7.8 MB the total bandwidth used would be 106.64 GB per min!].

Update: I was able to download Firefox 3 from downloads.com without any problems. At the time, their download counter said 13,955,885 downloads.

Set a Guinness World Record and Enjoy a Better Web!

 

Mozilla co has set up a web site for users to pledge to download the latest version of Firefox browser, Firefox 3, on it’s release date. The goal is setting the record for most software downloads in 24 hours.
