Getfirefox.com gets hammered as people look for FF3 - Servers die in process



I eventually got through and Firefox 3 wasn't even on the site at the appropriate time (maybe they took it down to limit downloads? nothing listed on their blog status). The site keeps going down. Hope they bring it up soon, they were putting a lot of marketing into the whole world record download within 24 hours.
As a partial defense to Mozilla, they did mention that you cannot use the self update as it won't count towards their record keeping. But it probably still shouldn't crash, eh.

Update: Finally got it downloading @ 2:00 PM CST (12:00 PDT). 2 hours late, but at least they still have 22 hours to go. Good luck!

You shouldn't post here, Herbert. Noone wants to hear the opinions of a vacuum guy.

Why don't you all find something useful to do, or I will remind you all why I am known as "Old Hickory". And you can bank on that!
