Wow. Thanks for the mirror. I've been dreaming about getting this since I saw the previews. Downloading it now. Looks just like what I've been yearning for. 
Thanks again for the mirror.

I have been trying now all day to download the file.. no luck

Just installed and I just have to say
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
This is the COOLEST theme in a long time. I think alienware could get away with selling it (but are probably going to be selling a lot more PCs because of it)
To everyone involved, thanks for such outstanding work.

Wonderful effort getting the goods to the people.
Special thanks to Alienware, The Skins Factory, Stardock, WC, and of course "angry-fly" for the mirror.
As efficient as it should be with all the technical goodies we have to play with!

Wow. Gotta be happy about those stats. And one thing unique about WC download counts, which bears mentioning again because WC is the only site that does this - repeat downloads from the same person don't count. So if something here says it has 10,000 downloads that means 10,000 different people have it.

Here's a nice bit of info from Russ as he's monitoring the downloads. Keep in mind his mirror went up in the middle of the day: "As of 7:00 PM EST My site has had 10,337 successful downloads of the file. And it seems to be climbing!!"
Now that's what we like to see! He's getting some of the runoff from WC but also Customize, Neowin, WinMatrix and Notebook Forum.

Neowin: reaction is stellar actually. Same with Notebook Forum and WinMatrix.
Update on Angry-fly's AlienGUIse download count: Russ put up the files on Friday 11:44pm EST. Since that time (as of 6am EST this morning) the Suite has received:
Successful requests: 18,755
Failed requests: 585
Data transferred: 42.030 gigabytes
That's just the downloads coming from Russ's mirrors. I know its being distributed on P2P networks and off of people's personal servers.

jamoman: its 6 skins and 2 wallpapers in it. The WMP skins alone are about 25mb due to the intense animations and sound effects. Since no one is forcing you to actually download it you really have nothing to worry about. You'll still have plenty of spare bandwidth to keep downloading those Britney Spears songs of Kazaa -)
