So it’s almost at the end of download day, and I have to retract what I was saying yesterday.  I guess Internet impatience got the best of me… ;] So of course, the good folks at Mozilla had the smarts to make sure they’d be ready for the storm of requests and it looks like their infrastructure only got weak knees for a little while at the start.  Recovered nicely thereafter and at about 1:35pm EDT time FF3 showed up. I proceeded to happily download to my various machines and think this is much less of a drag now… ;]

spreadfirefox.com shows 7,389,769 downloads at the time of this writing, so I’d call that pretty successful – at least pending the next world record attempt. Since this is a new record, we’ve got no other benchmarks to compare it against, but I’d call that some pretty significant interest that will be hard to replicate!
