Firefoxload - Downloads Firefox for Seeding P2P Servers
Posted February 11th, 2008 by OldRabbit
A Perl script to download the Firefox (or Thunderbird) executable for each locale, check the md5 sum, then rename according to the locale so that all the executables for the different locales can be hosted in a common directory on a P2P seeding server etc..
New Version 20080718
A new version of Firefoxload is now available. It takes Firefox/Thunderbird version, download speed limit and whether to download Firefox or Thunderbird as command line arguments. Further command line arguments are passed straight to wget to facilitate use behind firewalls, etc. For major version numbers 3 or greater, the script looks for Linux executables compressed with Bzip2 rather than Gzip.
