    I could be wrong but I think that's how our friends across the pond spell it. ;) They also spell rumor as rumour and tire as tyre.

    Those Brits and their silly spelling! :p

    That's quite a lot of downloads, many more than they expected since the demand crashed their server.

    I read earlier it could take up to a week to go through all the log files to legitimize all of the downloads. I'd hate to be that guy! :p

    I don't understand why they can't just spell it the correct way...it's easier too in most cases...fewer letters ;/

    who are you to say which way is correct? not trying to start an argument but it kind of makes me mad when people in America think the world should revolve around it. i am from new jersey so i am not talking down to you or pointing a finger. just making a point that it comes across as ignorant and flamboyant to say such things.

    *facepalm*

    Next time I will wrap my text in sarcasm tags so that it's clearer that I'm joking. Apparently a ';/' does not suffice. I'm glad Jeff understood I was not being serious....

    Don't you guys have some plugin for "FF3" which can remind you of the number of downloads, after a set interval?
