Now this ought to pose someone a serious availability challenge. Mozilla wants to set an official world record for most software downloads in a 24-hour period when Firefox 3 is released, a date that has yet to be determined but is expected within a month. They’re asking people to pledge their participation beforehand and have, as of this moment, attracted 74,611 would-be participants. …Oops, make that 74,862. … 75,017
As for the current record? There’s no mention on the Firefox site and I had no luck at Guinness or with Google. If anyone knows, please shout. Of course, it could be a new category.
Up to 76,218.
