You'd think with an article telling you to download firefox, they would put a link up to mozilla's website to download it....

      They shoulda had an official tracker and official Mozilla torrent so that they can keep track of how many times it was download through torrents to help with the world record!

      I hope they're tracking direct downloads ... otherwise they're missing swarms of Digg and /. users.
