Firefox's World Record Attempt!

[nick09]

It is set for the 17th, this Tuesday. I've just pledge cause I know I'll be here that day.

I set the date in my computer calendar for it at 3PM. Just three more days! I can't wait.

 

[TopHat]

I'm running RC3 right now, everything is very promising.

 

[Only_in_f1]

Today is the Day!

 

[SolidSnake15]

Still 3 1/2 hours till the 17th here.

 

[Eric.]

Does anyone know what time they are going by for launch?

Edit: 7am Pacific Time...

 

[DQuaN]

What time is that in GMT?

*edit*

Looks like 5pm.

 

[V1P3R]

Pledged, although I was hoping to d/l it too.

 

[Muzaffar]

So its not available yet?

 

[Joey D]

Still no word on when it's hitting? I mean it's was 9:30 on the west coast already.

 

[DQuaN]

According to my clock it is 09:25 pacific time, so we'll have it in 35mins.

 

[nick09]

Seems like they release on a timezone basis.

[Joey D]

Ah, 20 more minutes!

 

[Pako]

A few more minutes here.... (posting from Firefox 3.0rc, BTW)

 

[G.T]

Well, their website seems to be down...

 

[the Interceptor]

Well, they brought that onto themselves, didn't they?

 

[Pako]

Looks like mozilla.com is having some issues right now. Can't imagine why. The IBM Server Cluster commercial comes to mind.

 

[G.T]

Well the name of the page appears in its tab but nothing else appears.

Edit: It still says download FF2...

Edit2: Haha...

 

[Pako]

Well, back to work I guess....., that was very anti-climatic.

 

[Omnis]

I'll be damned if they're trying to break a world record when the current one is larger than their capacity will allow.

 

[the Interceptor]

Obviously, everybody has been waiting for this and now they're just pulling the servers down. We got 24 hours though, so I guess we'll have more luck later on.

 

[Loon]

It's only going to get worse, Australia is going to wake up in a few hours, and shortly after that so is Japan and China. They better hurry up and get this fixed.

 

[DQuaN]

Brilliant!

 

[Speedster502]

Did they not even think of preparing their servers for this?

 

[V1P3R]

So much for that record, better luck next year?

I think this is what they call an EPIC FAIL these days.

That said I'm downloading at 13 KB/sec

Odd, it downloaded within 15 seconds for me a minute ago.

Browser looks pretty good so far.

 

[DQuaN]

Suddenly it downloaded at 450k/b

Installing now.

*edit*

Edited with Firefox 3.

This is gonna take some getting used to.

 

[Omnis]

getfirefox is up now. Yay. Averaging my standard download speed... about 100k.

 

[Joey D]

Downloading on the work computer at 250kbps....and it's done. Going to install.
