Problems with the FAA website

[Pa28-140]

I went to the FAA website today to download IFR enroute charts but was not able to access them. The page wouldn't load at all and eventually timed out. The message said that the server was not responding. Anybody else having this problem? This is the link I used before and it always worked fine: http://aeronav.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=aeronav/applications/IFR/chartlist_enroute

Thanks in advance for any responses.

It is doing that for me too. I even tried going in from the very front page at www.faa.gov and still could not get in.

The FAA site is often unavailable to me for a whole night (12hrs) and in the past it has been for a whole weekend. Seems their motivation or maybe resources is/are lower than many commercial enterprises.

Yup, it's down. I had to get some plates from AOPA today.

Not saying the FAA servers are in D.C.
But have you seen the weather there?
Even Mr. President had to go by car and hit the gridlock.
