Opera 10 downloads

September 2, 2009 · by Espen André Øverdahl

The results are in... When we launched Opera 9 back in 2006 we had 580,000+ something downloads the first day.

Opera 10? Oh boy... We are getting close to 2,000,000 downloads - and that's only the first day! :yes: No wonder the servers acted sluggish yesterday. :faint:

Hope you are enjoying Opera 10 so far. Seems like many do. :smile:

    It seems, that Op. Turbo servers are also a bit overloaded. :wink:

  • D1sasterp1eceWednesday, September 2, 2009 9:22:54 PM

    Firefox, eat your ears!

  • Daniel HendrycksWednesday, September 2, 2009 10:40:29 PM

    Will you get another server so they are not sluggish next time like they were in this release?

  • Daniel HendrycksWednesday, September 2, 2009 10:42:47 PM

    Also please give us a report on how many downloads were in week one when that time comes. :smile:

  • Diego Schild SmithsWednesday, September 2, 2009 11:56:39 PM

    Yeah! :devil:

  • TimothyThursday, September 3, 2009 3:50:24 AM

    Congratulations team, a job very well done. I'm very proud of the amazing uptake on the new release, and I have no doubts that it has a fair bit to do with the (now) automatic updates. Looks like there are still a couple of minor bugs, but I notice that most of the bugs I have been having on certain websites over the beta testing have disappeared (as a matter of fact, it's now running, for the most part, much better than 9.64 ever did).

    Cheers on the new spell checker as well - haven't really checked it out yet (even though I've been testing the beta a little), but I'm confident it's better than the old, outdated, GNU Aspell libraries users have had to download until now.

    "It seems, that Op. Turbo servers are also a bit overloaded."

    Actually, it was choking a little even in the RC. :wink:

    "What I'd like to know: Where do all the users come from? (countries)"

    Good idea - some geolocational statistics on downloads would be both interesting for the users and possibly useful for potential new features for the next release.

    wow!!! congratulations!!!! :party: :drunk: :headbang: :cheers: :yes: :party:

    Anyone else has problems with fast typing in Opera's text fields? When I type fast (it's normal for me) it seems, that letters are displaying with lags. Especially comment boxes in Wordpress sites suffer from this. Even when I hold a key, the letters no not appear smoothly.
    It's very irritating. The same problem I had with Opera 9, but "10" has a clean install and problem persists. I can't find reason nor solution…

    sometimes i get short freezes. but i'm kind of used to that and i'm not sure if it's opera or just my pc :bigsmile:

  • pavelThursday, September 3, 2009 11:55:09 AM

    Opera 10 is great! But please add a plugin to put the signature in mail automatically ABOVE the quited text - that's a tiny thing to do I hope but that would make me fall in love with Opera forever ))))

  • Ricardo CastañoThursday, September 3, 2009 6:14:34 PM

    2 million? really? wonderful, congratulations!
