I don't have the reference to hand (though I have seen it), but yes. Notifications inviting people to download the upgrade will be rolled out *starting* 29th July to people who have 'reserved' the upgrade - the notification will only appear for everyone over a few days. People who really want to go download the thing manually should be able to from the launch date of course by going to the website. Hopefully this means that the network load should not be too great, as long as they don't 'pick' people to receive the notification by AS number. But, the only way to know for sure is to see what happens tomorrow. Here's hoping it doesn't overload any major links. Alex
