Firefox 3 record download attempt hampered by server overload

[boramk]

In an american view: (Not neccesarilly mine!)
Iran = Terrorism
FBI = Anti terrorism.
Iran = Lots of ff downlaods
FBI = Wonders why but makes sure its not for harmful purposes.
Understand? Its a JOKE.

Congratulations. You've just killed the thread.

lol from the comments...

This is what the Nazis did before they invaded a country. They sent them a "friendly" cake with a swastika on it. Beware of Microsoft.

Dont worry. Im sure the FBI is on top of it

LOL!

But until Microsoft gets its act straightened out, Mozilla will be eating Internet Explorer's marketshare in addition to cake.

It is brilliant! Nice move IE.

There was no previous attempt so whatever they get up to today is the record.

17K+ for South Africa, not bad but we could've easily reached 100K if our little monopoly situation was sorted out.

It only ends at 18:16:00 Wednesday June 18 2008 UTC. That means 20:16:00 Wednesday June 18 2008 for us - still some time left!

So let me get this right.

Assuming ~8M downloads @ 7.8Mb for FF3
= 62,400,00 Mb (or 62Tb) of data served in 24h

And factor in osx at about 20MB as well.

That's a lot of data.

I just typed in "download orbit" into the address bar of FF3 (Not the google search field) and it took me straight to the download page of orbit download manager. Impressive
