The server that runs spreadfirefox was melting down because of the new firefox download counter. Going in to fix it we decided we would get much greater performance by caching the feed once a minute. This broke all the fancy live download counter plug-ins (sorry about that).

Since then it has been neat to see the evolution. The fancy live counters came back, this time using math to simulate being live. People have even started using regressions to find when we will hit 50,000,000 downloads.

Never really realized how many people were watching this little chunk of xml…
