Hi, I'm trying to use Digikey's website but it appears not to be responding. I get the home page but no further; I get site not responding messages. This is the same both for Canada and US sites. Are others experiencing problems (could be my Internet provider so I want to refute or confirm that hypothesis)?

I also seem to have problems, after the first page.
E.g. https://www.digikey.co.uk/products/discrete-semiconductors/en (https://www.digikey.co.uk/products/discrete-semiconductors/en)

Ok, that means it's not my provider, and it appears the problem is widespread across several geographies. I have been experiencing it all day (probably meaning no online orders are being created by customers). That's got to be hard for Digikey.

About 5 hours ago, their twitter account, says they are having website problems.
Ideally, they should really have that warning, popping up or appearing on the front page.

Works for but a friend in Sydney was complaining it's been down all day.

It was definitely down most of yesterday (Tuesday). Also I noticed all this week the datasheet links don't work. You click on them and nothing happens. It appears Digikey site that has stuffed databases. Or maybe Digikey had a DOS attack authorised by Chairman Pooh Bear in China ^-^.
Tonight the links seem to be working. It will be interesting to see if Digikey publishes why its site went down. Hopefully it won't happen again.

Digikey is still a damaged website. A lot of the datasheet links do not work - far more broken links than when it was all working fine a week ago.
