I managed to download the Firefox 3 just 30 minutes before the first 24 hour window kept for the world record. Probably I didn't waste time trying to download as soon as it was out and keep on waiting for the page to render. It was pretty slow even at the end of the first 24 hour. The total download count when I am writing this post is little more than 8 million. I don't know about the previous download record - if at all one exists, but it is a cool way to market the product. Download day participation certificate looks cool as well.
Anyhow, I have been using the RC3 for sometime now and the stand out feature got to be "Awesome Bar". It is awesome indeed! And the frequent firefox users would not miss to notice the considerable performance enhancement.
10 more minutes to go, can it reach 8.5 million?
Update: The download day is over; the total download looks like 8.265 million.
