Martin McDowell Firefox 3 download certificate

The “big download” should have commenced at 10 am PDT but was delayed at least an hour an a half. I managed to get it at 19.30 GMT (20.30 CET). I encourage you to get you own here:

http://www.mozilla.com/

Update: as mentioned earlier there have been so many requests for download that the Mozilla servers just crashed under the pressure. At one time there were like 14.000 downloads per minute! With a 7 MB download that is 13 GB/s.

If you want to see the progress fo the download you can se a live counter here:
