RE: Firefox 3 - Download Day 2008
Finally, i waited half of the day yesterday (the 17th) and all i got was 2.0. Guess they picked a convenient American time to do an international event, how do they set an official record whith such bad communication?

I always used the English version, that's not the problem. But i was told FF3 download day would be the 17th... around 5pm on the 17th there was no FF3 yet, if they want to break a record they could at least have released it on time for most timezones to get people downloading it . |

I think Menthix meant the actual Download Day event - in Australia time's up at 6:16pm. That's hardly a full day at all! It started at 3am here too...But in the US it started at 11:16am. How convenient.
EDIT: Yeah I was right.

Weren't you on dialup  ? But yea you could always start a download and end it at 0.01% and start again and so on...
I download it and even called up a few friends of mine just to tell them to download it, lol. I know its kinda lame but meh.

No. Only complete downloads are counted. Automatic updates from previous versions don't count also.
How is it lame I've been banging on to everyone I know all day to download it. Everyone now thinks I'm a stupid nerd and they couldn't really give a stuff, but meh
