Parent article: Firefox 1.0 released

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.

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...

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:

You can also see the torrent related download statistics there.
