Not much of a challenge is it.

where do we check the SA downloads stats? I followed the link in the article but it only has foreign countries listed.

when you see the world map... just move your mouse over South Africa.

 

[LandyMan]

currently the total downloads is 5,324,019

south africa broke the 10K mark about 10 or 15min ago.

Interesting, as there were only about 5000 pledges

Alot of people I know didnt pledge for the simple reason of that they didnt know when it'd be released, so not wanting to commit to something they cant do.

Also, alot of people are only hearing of it today, and it's spreading. I suspect an increase of downloads towards the end of the day as people download at home to. Just hope they beat the cut off time.

Ja, there are a number of local mirrors, but they probably don't count towards the world record.

And my plugins no longer work on FF3 too.

Oh Noez, no backward compatability, heaven forbid Microsoft did the same thing, then everyone would be picketing by now.

Because that's what the terrorists use. They also hate Microsoft.
