Firefox 3 Breaks The World Record For The Most Downloads In a Day

It looks like FireFox’s campaign to get the most software downloads in 24 hours has worked. They now have an announcement on their website saying :

Thanks to the support of the always amazing Mozilla community, we now hold a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours. From 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008, 8,002,530 people downloaded Firefox 3 and are now enjoying a safer, smarter and better Web.

I still find it quite amazing that their servers could handle all of those downloads in one single day. Well lets not forget that there were some major issues when the day started because it was really difficult to actually get the download from the sites.

    What an amazing result! And to think they are now at just under 30 million downloads!

    I really felt happy for Mozilla on accomplishing this, they really do deserve it.
