Bittorrent is a great idea, I too will seed for a few days if you use Bittorrent.

BitTorrent will help to protect Mozilla.org from bombardment a lot, but it won't help Texturizer, Mozdev or MozillaZine...
To aid this, I would strongly suggest that you bookmark MozillaZine (and specific forum urls) that are important to you and load them directly, instead of going via the forum index. Also extending your disk cache and visiting MozillaZine, Mozdev and Texturizer the night before 0.9 may help over the coming days.
If you are planning to use a lot of extensions, try to download them now (or at least, before 0.9) to cut down on bandwidth consumption on not only the main distribution sites, but also to help the author domains from being hit too hard in one go.

Somebody should set a seed up for the Firefox 0.9 RC1 ( out tomorrow) here on Mozillazine. That way we will be better prepared for the 0.9 release.

Thanks Ben. The work you have put into this project is certainly appreciated, as you can see. The excitement is building for .09 but what we all await is the big 1. Not so long ago that seemed way off in the future and now it is just around the corner.
