Firefox Download Day - Help Set a Record

[Broni]

Maybe, you should try some better effort as a TEACHER.....LOL

[quaxo]

Well, mostly I teach English, not computers. The people I do teach computers to are quite knowledgeable and already use things like Firefox. I just teach them how to do their jobs better in English. For example, one of the companies I am currently doing work for does computer security, business software, and server hardware. They know all about computers, but some of their technical support personnel need to improve their English to be more effective with international clients.

I'm just teasing you.....

I sure hope their servers can handle the load on that day. There hoping for 5 million downloads. That would be around 34 Terabytes

If they're smart they will include links to other download sites that host FF downloads. majorgeeks, filehippo, betanews and so on and on.....

I didn't check this site: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp for a while, and FF looks pretty good:

3.    Safari - 2.25%

The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 is June 17, 2008.

What happens to the target count if lotsa willing helpers download FF3 on 17th local time which could still be 16th where Mozilla Corp is domicilied or should we wait until 18th while it's still 17th in CA?

[Broni]

I'm pretty sure, Mozilla servers can read your computer IP, and it'll know what's your local time.

Anyone running Safari is outta their mind right now...
The exploit was 2 days after the new release and i haven't seen a patch since the news release...
Thank Goodness it's only 2.25 %
