FireFox 3 Final download links leaked before official release

Fore more information about the FF3 Download Day, read this post. Apparently the download links have been released by scene group iND roughly 6 hours before official release. This has of course triggered a nuke war.

Anyway a clean, final build of FireFox 3 download link has been leaked from Mozilla FTP servers. If you want to get FF3 Final before official release, this link will serve you just fine. However, your download will not be counted in the world record. Personally, i'd wait for the official release and let my download count. It's your decision.

Here is the link anyway:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%203.0.exe

UPD: Link is working again. I think the download still doesn't count if you use this link. But it's a way to download FF3 since Mozilla sites are offline possibly due to heavy demand.
