Mozilla Firefox Release

This past Monday marked the release of the Mozilla Firefox 0.8 web browser. It features a new change from Firebird to Firefox and a lot of changes since 0.7. To find out more and to download, go here.
I can only describe the aftermath of that announcement as a flood of people hitting the mozilla.org and the other related servers of mozillazine.org, mozdev.org and texturizer.net, which hosts the Firefox Help site.
Mozilla.org hit a bandwidth high of using 24.4Mb/s and was partially unavailable for a bit, because of the flow of traffic, but returned quickly and responded very well under such an intense load. MozillaZine.org also suffered slowness under the load, having to disable the Forums to get the site responsive. Texturizer.net went down entirely, and Mozdev.org as of this writing is just coming back, but is still slow.
