I was able to download FF3 several times (multiple systems) from
getfirefox.com with no problems or delays.
Apparently the only downloads that count are the web downloads. The FTP
site isn't keeping track.
I imagine that the count isn't going to properly measure Linux downloads
since quite a few people will get it via 'yum', 'apt' or 'zypper'. For
myself, I downloaded the tarball to help them out for the record but I
installed it via 'zypper'.
