Mozilla's Download Day was a huge success.
Firefox 3 was downloaded over 1.6 million times yesterday despite the fact
that the site was crippled for awhile right after launch. According to Mozilla,
Firefox 3 reached 1.6 million downloads by early Tuesday evening. The Web site
saw almost 9,000 copies of the free, open-source software downloaded every
minute in the opening hours of its availability. The release of Firefox 3 kicked
off Download Day, the Mozilla community's campaign to set a new Guinness World
Record for the greatest number of software downloads in 24 hours.
