Mozilla owes Eclipse a beer

It just occurred to me that yesterday’s Mirror Appreciation Day was coincidentally the same day as the Firefox 3 launch. As most OSS shops share the same mirror sites, methinks Mozilla owes us a beer for freeing up some mirror bandwidth :-)

    You know, if I interpret your chart right. I was finally able to get my copy of Firefox 3 when you hit your peak. Yes, they do owe you a beer :)

    Mozilla handled 8+ million downloads in 24 hours. Their IT staff must just rock. We really need to challenge them on the record.

    As opposed to … your IT staff, which totally sucks?? If Eclipse was just an 8MB download like FF3, we could handle 100 million per day! :-)
