UK Ordering through Farnell

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

each time i go to the site i following the links and end up here

 

http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/bespoke/bespoke7.jsp?ICID=I-RASP-HPBLOF-0015&bespokepage=farnell/en_UK/promotions/raspberryPi.jsp

 

this fails massively, always times out...

 

been trying every 10 minutes from 6am this morning until now.

 

considering ordering from the states side links just to make sure i get one

 

Anyone else in the UK experiencing this ?

    I'm in the same boat - exactly the same experience as you.

     

    Ras-Pi seem to be rejoicing in all added publicity and getting all hairy-chested about the traffic peaks.

     

    Us enthusiats are just getting more frustrated.

     

    With some thought and forward planning, all this could have been avoided.

     

    One of the other demanding web sales is Glastonbury Festival tickets. When tickets went on sale they frequetly had server outages.  The solution was to get people to pre-register in the run up to the ticket sales.  It wouldn't have been hard to do something on this occasion.
