Firefox 1.0 released
At last, Firefox 1.0 is out. Changes since the last release candidate
consist mostly of bug fixes, but there is also an improved facility for
controlling how links opened by other applications are handled. See the release
notes for details and download information.

Connectivity problems? Posted Nov 9, 2004 17:16 UTC (Tue) by sphealey (guest, #1028) [Link] Is it just my ISP, or is everyone having problems getting to Mozilla.org and Mozillazine.org?
In one sense, if they underestimated the needed bandwidth that could be a good thing, but if too many people get timeout errors it won't help the cause.

Connectivity problems? Posted Nov 9, 2004 17:35 UTC (Tue) by ccyoung (guest, #16340) [Link] getting hammered. eg: ad in NY Times (today?), lead news story in Yahoo. let newbies at it for a while.
Connectivity problems? Posted Nov 9, 2004 17:40 UTC (Tue) by sphealey (guest, #1028) [Link] Problem is that newbies, particularly those coming in from the NYT, will not be patient.
Oh well.

Connectivity problems? Posted Nov 11, 2004 16:57 UTC (Thu) by mmarsh (subscriber, #17029) [Link] My best guess: everyone using 0.9.X or 1.0PR is looking for updated extensions and themes. When Debian sid updated firefox to 1.0PR, 70% of my extensions were disabled, so it was a substantial investment of time to regain the functionality I lost.
Mirror sites? Posted Nov 9, 2004 17:16 UTC (Tue) by gbailey (guest, #58) [Link] Can anyone supply a mirror site or 2? I can't access mozilla.org to see the list of mirror sites nor (obviously) read the release notes...
Mirror sites? Posted Nov 9, 2004 17:22 UTC (Tue) by LogicG8 (guest, #11076) [Link] I got my copy from here...Mozilla Mirror
torrents Posted Nov 9, 2004 19:27 UTC (Tue) by tjw.org (guest, #20716) [Link] I noticed that this release is available in official BitTorrent downloads.firefox-1.0.tar.gz.torrent firefox-1.0.installer.tar.gz.torrent Perhaps if they were mentioned more prominently there wouldn't have been all this fuss about mozilla.org availability.
torrents Posted Nov 10, 2004 15:34 UTC (Wed) by cross (guest, #13601) [Link] Even those are just giving "failed" :(I assume mozilla.org is slashdotted just now and it is as simple as that. That's good news...
torrents Posted Nov 10, 2004 20:55 UTC (Wed) by tjw.org (guest, #20716) [Link] Yeah, torrents don't do much good if you can't download the .torrent meta files. You should be able to get them here though:
http://vegas.mozilla.org:6969/
You can also see the torrent related download statistics there.
