Probably Call of Duty 4 Map Pack. It got so crowded downloading it that night on the Xbox Live Marketplace, the Microsoft servers crashed.

So tomorrow? I could download it to 8 different machines if I could be bothered. But as I don't think I can be I'll only do it to 2 of them.

I have one thing I hope that FF3 is compatible with my add ons, like the black JapaneseMAX skin, Faster Fox, ad block plus, Phish tank site checker.

Ohh, seeing as it's the second-last day of school, this sounds like a good time to abuse the school servers some more. 2000+ machines, one AutoExec.bat file; this should be fun.

A file your computer reads upon booting up with a list of things to run.

I dont really get into the CMD thing anymore, last time I used it was for a class, and I got into something I wasnt supposed to by accident, and I almost got arrested. but since it was my first offense they let me off on a warning, but see I had no clue what it was. and today I can't even remember what the programs name was.

Re: FireFox 3 Download Day (17th Jun 08 at 5:20am UTC)
So is it the 3.0 RC3? because it does not show on the main page yet, and it shows the dl at another page. Main Page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ download area http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html EDIT: ~~I downloaded the FF3 test version to see its progress, and I uninstalled it, and re installed FF2, well now FF keeps on Crashing on me, I have to use IE to get on.~~ I fixed it, I completely uninstalled FF and and then re installed it. EDIT 2: When is the Official release coming out? its the 17th, 12:52 AM CST, and still no Official release on the home page. It only shows FF2 Download, and at the bottom it has a link for the Beta test version FF3.0RC3.
