I have adapted Infocraft’s Firefox download odometer counter and applied it to Thunderbird as you can see on the sidebar to the left.

  3. I have no idea what the problem is yet. still testing but for the moment it is abandoned unless i get some much needed help.

  4. The problem seems to be that your mirror doesn’t work. See the error message on http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/rumblingedge/mirror.php

    Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to http://www.spreadfirefox.com:80 in /www/prod/sites/mozillazine.org/weblogs/rumblingedge/mirror.php on line 1
    Connection timed out (110)

    My guess is the server has severely limited outgoing connections for security reasons.

  5. I am looking into this. Both MozillaZine and Spread Firefox are hosted at the same place (Oregon State University Open Source Lab). I assume this is behind the problem.
