Some two and a half hours into the FF3.0 download campaign, and the toll is beginning to show.spreadfirefox.com seems to be refusing connections. While individual mirror sites seem up, it looks like the counts are going via some redirector script. getfirefox.com is however working fine.
The impact its having on mirrors seems to be quite intense. The following two images sow traffic stats from mirror.ac.za the mirror service run by TENET here in South Africa.
Update:
A Firefox 3.0 download counter is now available. 943806 currently averaging some 7000/minute. Some commentary on the outages, although they seem to have cleared.
