Footnote.com Frustrations

Decided to do some quick genealogy research this morning, before heading outside to work in the garage.  Checked out Footnote.com's Civil War Collection, and made a couple of quick finds on the pension index cards that I wanted to download, but no such luck.

Is it just me, or is their system overloaded due to the holiday weekend traffic?  Probably the latter, but still it is frustrating.  I guess I'm just too impatient!  I want it now, you know?

Just sent out a tweet to see if the problem is just my computer.  Misery loves company.

I'll join you at the Footnote frustration party! I was trying to search there yesterday and continually received an error message. I also thought it must be due to high volume. That doesn't make it any less frustrating though!

Jenna,

Thanks for the support! I just tried it again, and viola!

It must have just been a problem due to the high volume.
