*Mother's Day* Treat..Free E-books

  1. I just got this

    NOTICE: Due to the overwhelming response of the Mother's Day promotion, our web host has been unable to keep up with the traffic. Because of this, we will be looking at options for a hosting service than can handle our site's volume, both now and into the future. Updates regarding the Mother's Day Promotion will be forthcoming. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience, and thank you for your support.
     
  2. I just went to there forum and this was posted

    Hello everyone,

    We were indeed having some problems due to the enormous response to this promotion! I've been scrambling to fix these issues, and after trying a few different things I believe I've fixed the problem, or at least mitigated it. You should be able to download now; if you get a message saying that it can't connect to the database, then wait a minute or so, hit your refresh button, and give it another try.

    Likewise, you may have to click to refresh if you're browsing around the site and you end up with a blank page.

    I'll keep an eye on this forum to see if anyone else is having problems. Sorry for the inconvenience everybody!

    Sincerely,
    Mike Todd
    HomeschoolEStore.com Webmaster

    Who has had the longest download? I am at 40% and says I have 48 minutes left. When I started it was a bit over an hour. It's the Great Pioneer Projects You Can Build Yourself one.

    I gave up. It might be free, but it's frustrating. I bet they did have a huge response, though!

    I think I've successfully been able to download 6 items, with one more in progress. I have not been able to get the Reading Zone to work at all. I really wanted that one.

    This was more stress than "stress free". I hope that you had better luck than me. I try to download and get a small box with nothing in it. I think that I will have to let this deal go on by.

    You lucky dogs! I have been trying for several hours and have not had much luck. The problem got worse for me when they changed servers.

    I'm up early to try again. So far nothing.

    Everything I get going comes up and says that it doesn't exist. Weird.

    I snuck in somehow and got 1 thing dl'd. It's the Jar one. I got it printed, and then it disappeared! I tried to go back on and get another one, and it wouldn't even connect.

    Oh well, at least I got one thing! How on earth did you other guys get so many?! :)
