I actually have screen shots of a patched Konqueror (and IE8 beta 1) waiting to be put up- once things calm down a little on the traffic side (I'm thinking later this afternoon or tonight.) I just want to make sure I don't get any more big spikes (I'm looking at you Digg) before I turn the post back into a post.

The svn trunk version gets to about 47/100, hangs for several seconds, then continues up to 63/100. (It also displays a "linktest failed" message, but little else interesting rendering-wise AFAICT - there's no reference rendering for the progress animation.) I think 4.0.0 is in the same general ballpark. Hi,

I'm holding out now. I got knocked offline pretty quickly, the initial traffic spike is intense, but I was able to move the targeted page out of Wordpress and into a static file. The server should be able to serve that all day with no worries. It's pretty crazy. I've gotten something like 4-5 days worth of traffic in less than 20 hours. And that doesn't include an hour of requests that either were 403'd or returned an error 500, while I was trying to get things under control. Hey, thanks.
