Anybody else has trouble to access to Microchip's web site?

(Forum seems to be ok, however, I have trouble with the main site.

Thanks

Looks like a problem with their redirect.  Goes into an endless loop.  Try

http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=64

Alternately, search for something on google with "site:microchip.com"
and find a direct link to another page.  You should be able to
navigate around their site once beyond the initial redirect loop.

Hah.  I was wrong.  The redirect loop appears to affect CMS links on
their own site as well.  One direct link I've tried leads to a planned
maintenance upgrades message.

they seem to be doing maintenance today.

from the site:
www.microchip.com is currently unavailable while we perform planned maintenance and upgrades.

Please close your browser completely before trying to reconnect to this site.

At this exact time, main site works fine for me.

It happens relatively frequently that I have to wait or reload several times
when going deeper into the hierarchy at Microchip. E.g. searching a device is
fast then clicking on the device page link takes a very long time to load, and I
may have to repeat the search from start. I am using firefox on bsd and linux
usually. I'd say one in four or five such accesses is inordinately slow or fails
and needs to be repeated. I assume it has to do with caches or with some other
kind of contention on the way and not with the Microchip servers proper. Right
now as I am writing this they are down for maintenance. Netcraft shows that
Microchip uses Akmai as a proxy, as do many other companies. We will see if they
will fix it.

I think it is more distributed hosting than proxy. They sometimes have
problems with updated content propagating to the hosts. You can have
problems with your local Akmai node that others don't.

For me the site was fine all day apart from one short spell of
'Maintenance' about an hour ago. Maybe it has been up and down and I missed
all the other downs or maybe they went round the nodes one at a time.
