Yes sir, may I have another (update)?

06.29.07 - 05:56am

As many of you may know, we released a major update to offer 1.5.0.12 -> 2.0.0.4. This is significant to the infrastructure for a few reasons. First off, all of these updates will be *full* updates, i.e. full browser downloads – no 300k mar file. That puts a large load on our mirror network (nothing they can’t handle ). Second, as people update from1.5.0.12 -> 2.0.0.4, we anticipate people will need to update addons for compatibility reasons.

We released at 3pm PDT yesterday – here are some of the stats so far:

* Just under 1 million people have been updated from 1.5.0.12 -> 2.0.0.4
* We are updating people at a rate of 20-30 per second (FF2 download rate was about 30/second)
* Mirrors are seeing about a 2-3x increase in bandwidth

I expect to see increased load throughout the day, but so far so good! Huge thanks to webdev with their help to optimize addons.mozilla.org – it’s been a huge win for this release.
