Is this it?

No, that link shouldn't be posted as it won't count as an 'official' download

The files in this directory are - for now - only meant to be used by our testers. Downloading them directly can harm our ability to distribute Firefox efficiently, and will also not be counted as part of our attempt to set a Guiness World Record for the most software downloads in a day.

I don't care about the world record..

Then do care about the fact all the people linking to the FTP knock it out of service for days, rather than using mirrors spread all over the world...

Heh, the servers will be so jammed most of us won't even be able to download!

The firefox website isn't even loading up for me

This won't go towards to the world record would it?

Thanks a bundle though

Whats the point in trying to break records when they dont have a server structure that can cope with the load?

Not sure, doubt it. I'll redownload it from their site later once it's stable and then delete it so they still get my download.

You have at least another 23.5 hours to download it? If people didn't try to download it the second it came out then it would probably have been ok.

Yeh, it's not like they weren't expecting lots of traffic. Quite stupid as everyone is just going to use an FTP mirror which won't count towards the record.

all i am offered from Mozilla is firefox 2

tolien · 17 Jun 2008 at 18:11

It hasn't come out yet - mozilla.com still has 2.0.0.14...

Unlikely, so beware it could add a load of US-centric stuff to your profile.
