Wow! Amazing!
2 Weeks & 6 million downloads!
Keep spreading the fire!
Asa, would you mind putting up a graph of the daily/cumulative downloads like you did for the PR? I'm sure a lot of people would love to see it.
Then if we could get that updated automatically along with the sfx download counter, that would totally rock!
Posted by: Scott on November 24, 2004 09:55 AMScott, there's nothing automatic about any of that :-) I update the SFX counter several times a day by hand (doing the math on the download numbers, creating the graphic and uploading it).

Posted by: anonymous on November 24, 2004 02:34 PMI didn't want to disappoint you but I'm responsible for at least three of those six million downloads. I had nothing to do so I figured "why not download Firefox three million times?"
Posted by: David Tenser on November 24, 2004 03:49 PMDavid, but someone who download it only once may reused the installer on many machines. While the download count is certainly not the number of Firefox installed/in used, the 2 numbers should be more or less the same.
