New Mozilla releases not for download
Posted on October 15, 2003 @ 17:04 in Software
I guess this is good news. Mozilla.org released Mozilla 1.5, Firebird 0.7, and Thunderbird 0.3, but they're totally unavailable for download at the moment. Ftp.mozilla.org is either offline or totally swamped by people who want to download. Even MozillaZine, who don't even host any of the files themselves, are pretty much unreachable. The Mozilla mirrors appear not to have updated yet and the one mirror that does have a copy of Firebird 0.7 won't let me in, because it has reached its maximum number of connections. And the good news? All of the above... because apparently a lot of people want the newest Mozilla ware. And that is good.
If there ever was a good case for BitTorrent, then this is it. The only one still standing, as usual, is Slashdot, so I guess I'm off trawling comments to see if someone has set up a BitTorrent seed for those files.
Update: Firebird 0.7 is darn fast and it finally has a cookie whitelist system. Thunderbird 0.3 is now the default mail client on my system, so I guess that says something... you've got to experience the inbuilt spam filtering to believe how great it is. It beats my separate installation of PopFile by several magnitudes.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
