I'm on the beta channel - I had a notification to update to 8.0 beta but this failed with an error message about patch installation failing and it proceed to try a full download which also failed. I've tried the URL http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html (several different languages) - all downloads are 0 bytes!

There was a glitch with firefox 7 and firefox 7.01 was released as a fix very recently. Not sure Aurora and beta channels have caught up properly yet, it may well also be causing problems with busy servers/mirrors.
