Mozilla 基金会成员建议不要从 FTP 镜像直接下载 Firefox 等软件

开发工程师 Preed 提到，如果是真正的朋友，不会推荐在 Mozilla 官方正式发布之前去 FTP 下载的，由于 FTP 本身的限制，在有用户下载之时，管理员根本没有办法操作该文件，即便出现这样那样的问题在正式发布之前需要及时调整，也只能干瞪眼看着大量用户在不停下载，而没有办法。更有可能在管理员操作当中产生的下载链接，可能导致文件不完整或者错误，引起一些不好的用户体验。
Beltzner 甚至于有些气愤：
"first we put the files out there on the mirrors, then we update the website, and finally we announce the release. This isn't news. It's the way we do things. We rely on generous mirror networks to donate their bandwidth, and it takes time to get those systems primed. There's a lot that goes into co-ordinating a release, and it's not plausible to flip some magic switch and have it all happen at once, especially since we do everything in public."
"But that raises the barrier to entry for our testing volunteers who need to get at the release candidates to do QA. Mozilla QA days would become more complex, and how long do you really think it would take for the passwords to leak out? Or for someone to point to the closest nightly build? All locking things down would do is encourage people to game the system some other way."
看起来虹也忽略了这些事情，以后要注意了。
