Watch the Mozilla guys live on Mogulus - Bwana

lots of MBPs there :-) - Dobromir Hadzhiev

they don't seem to be fixing their servers - Stefan Hayden

interstesting. They are still getting 2000 downloads a minute - up to 300,000 - metageoff

apparently mozilla europe is up (http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en...) - metageoff

Had a quick meeting...did I miss anything? - Bwana

They just said downloading from mozilla.org "totally counts" - Bwana

They called her a "token girl" LOL - Bwana

@Bwana - not much. I added the comments above - metageoff

ok cool - Bwana

260,000 downloads and counting - Bwana

funny the guy on the phone said 300k but just now 260k. ? - metageoff

LOL - Bwana

mozilla.com is up for me - metageoff

They're going to put out some one's eye with that cork! - metageoff

If they hit the camera with the cork, I'm going to die laughing - Bwana

looks like they are serving a file in conflict from src control on mozilla.com - I see this at the top of the page .... <<<<<<< .mine ======= >>>>>>> .r15918 - metageoff

are they hawking FF swag now? I missed point of putting the toy fox in the camera - metageoff

Killing time I hope... - Bwana

6500 downloads a minute - Bwana

6500 a minute now - metageoff

my interest is waning... - metageoff

addons.mozilla.org is also deader than dead - metageoff

"we're not really working today, that much" :-) - Karim

I wonder how many millions of downloads will they miss because of this infrastructure snafu - Bwana

well when I came in they were having a coder type meeting, not much that bunch on screen can do to fix things - metageoff

cork about to pop - metageoff

move the hand away from the wine bottle! - metageoff

7k/min - metageoff

Don't pop that chamPAGIN yet. :) (Said like Zap Branigan) - Bwana

live stream crapped out and so I am out too - metageoff

Still working here - Bwana

They're getting 7k/min and most of the web pages are broken - Bwana

Let's hope Mountain view is more entertaining - Bwana

did i hallucinate or did they just say something about a 45 Mbit *satellite* connection? of which they normally use 4? that's not where it's being served from, is it...? - Karim

I missed that...I lost the stream, trying to get it back - Bwana

I missed it too but I got the stream back - metageoff

Just came back for me - Bwana

mmmm. cupcakes! - metageoff

Sweet! Keep it on the counter - Bwana

switched to Mountain View - no audio - metageoff

counter is here http://downloadcounter.sj.mozilla.com/ - Bwana

According to that, they're at 13k/minute - Bwana

ha ha. went to the counter page and only Canada is changing. Go Canada! - metageoff

confirmed what I already knew - addons server is down - metageoff

Yeah, that's funny - Bwana

CEO of mozilla is excited about the release and getting lunch. That is all. - metageoff

the numbers are pretty amazing, rising all the time - Dobromir Hadzhiev

16k/min now - metageoff

number on the counter page is request data from the load balancers - not completed downloads - metageoff

Firebug is updated for FF3 on addons.mozilla.org. If it was up that is - metageoff

rate is falling from 16k/min a little while ago to 13.9 now - metageoff

3:20pm EST - rate is still falling now just under 10k.min - metageoff

my last comment and my prediction, 8 million in the end - metageoff

that many eh? hmm - Bwana

looking again many hours later I see my prediction was dumb, I didn't figure on the downloads per minute dropping so much. Although, china has picked up quite a bit. Update: almost at 7mil 10:12am EST - maybe 8mil wasn't so crazy a prediction? - metageoff

official count runs til 1pm EST today right? At the current rate they might just squeak over 8mil! - metageoff

I rule, 8.3 million according to TechCrunch http://tinyurl.com/5f7qrs - metageoff
