This is good news. It's just a common abbreviation using MB ;-)

Those of you who watch the download counter closely (on http://marketing.openoffice.org/planet/ ) may have noticed a jump of about 700k today in the total 3.1 downloads. The reason for this is that we are changing the technology which sends downloaders to mirror sites when they visit http://downloads.openoffice.org. The old 'Bouncer' mechanism is being replaced by 'MirrorBrain', which should give users a better download experience (e.g. by directing them to a geographically close site) and give us better statistics (e.g. filtering out of spammers, and also recording the country where the user is located - based on their IP). MB has been under test for a few months, and the downloads served by MB have not been appearing in our download counter. This has now been fixed both for historic downloads and ongoing, so the counter now shows both MB and Bouncer. The plan is to migrate fully to MB for the launch of 3.2. Once we have accumulated some history we'll be looking at ways of using the data - especially the 'by country' data, which we have never had in the past. I'd like to thank Peter Pöml for his efforts in getting MB up and running for us. Great work, Peter! John
