June 18th, 2008 As I type this Mozilla, the company behind the groovy Firefox browser, has just created a new world software download record of over 5 million downloads in less than 24 hours.
You can get your 7MB download here and track the download progress here.
I got a certificate too! (You can get yours here.)

Update:
It’s official: The latest version of Mozilla’s popular alternative Web browser, Firefox 3, set the previously nonexistent Guinness World Record for most software downloads in a day. The final tally settled at 8,002,530 after judges weeded out duplicates and automated downloads from the 8.3 million total downloads logged on June 18, the day of the browser’s launch.
