Is anyone else experiencing this I cannot connect to www.usfirst.org. Also this site is going slow.

I as well as you should know why this is happening (overflow of people trying to access/download files) I just want to know if anyone else is having similar issues. (also what is the USFirst twitter account)

1TB of bandwidth across multiple data centers, it should stay up.

As an aside, this is the hardest I've seen the FIRST web site get hit in years...normally with the pre-downloading of the manual, they've been able to handle the extra traffic without any problems...

Team 2502 (well, me more specifically) challenges the FIRST/CD community to try to knock our servers offline. :)
