Anyone having trouble downloading from Documents O

I have downloaded wills from Documents Online (National Archives) with no problems before, but this evening although my order was accepted, when I try to download the will I keep getting HTTP 500 Internal Server error - the page cannot be displayed. I've sent them an email and am waiting for a reply. Anybody had similar problems? Also there were a few images that didn't come through on their email, just a box with a red X in it where the image should be. (The 'A' symbol for National Archives and the 'Download my documents now' bit and the 'Help with downloading' bit). Kate.

This has happened to me on a couple of occasions and when I emailed them they sent me an email from which I was able to download the will successfully.

Thanks everybody. I tried it again this morning and it downloaded fine. Now I come to think about it, I think they are making a few changes to their site and maybe that's what caused the problem.
