Has anyone else noticed that the excellent server of USGS maps found at the following link appears to be out of commission today? It will download empty zip files, but that's about it.

Yes, it's functioning again. That was scary to find that such an essential service was on holiday. One just takes the delivery of all the maps and imagery that is available on line from USGS for granted.

Yes...the USGS EarthExplorer with their historic aerial photographs and the USDA Geospatial Data Gateway with their LiDAR, etc. data are very essential.
