Firefox 3: Download Day 2008
"Join us in our mission to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours!"

So firefox/mozilla is trying to set a world record for the most software downloads in one 24 hour period. I'm going to download it anyway, so might as well be a part of this!
Anyone else heard of this or pledged?

Pledged.
Firefox is awesome.
yeah, this. :)
I'll probably download it just because I hate the annoying pop-ups that say "UPGRADE LOLOLOL" when you're using a version that's not the latest one.
Oh, and because I'm a Gaiafagette and the Gaia Toolbar doesn't work (to give me golds lol) on anything but Firefox (it might work on IE, but that's IE).

Okay I got it. Took them 40 minutes to get a single mirror updated. Their servers are getting slammed.
I can't get it yet, it seems. The latest downloads I'm seeing right now are for 2.0.0.14. Which I downloaded anyways since I was running 2.0.0.11.
Still waiting to see if they'll get a Firefox 3 download up, though. It might be they're being biased towards PCs and they don't have a Mac version up yet. Not likely, but still, you never know.
EDIT: Took about a half-hour, even getting the British English version (I'm an Anglophile; sue me), but I finally got it. Had to get the most updated version of FF2 first, it seems.

Hahaha! I couldn't even GET on the Mozilla Firefox homepage the first 6 tries. And when I finally got on and clicked the download link, the page wouldn't load. They're being hammered HARD.
Heh, I'm using Mozilla 3 as we speak. Although, it did take awhile for me to load it. But I just kinda figured it was my dial-up being it's slow self.

I just came back from lunch and started the download - 14KB/sec, OUCH!
(heh, I also got Opera 9.50 today :))

I thought it was to have a piece of software without waving your eCock around the world.
