UK 1901 Census Goes Offline

This story from BBC News is reporting that the Public Record Office has had to take the England and Wales 1901 Census offline for a week while they try to improve the computer systems in order to cope with the huge demand.
As this earlier story reported, it went live last week and promptly got an average of about 30 million hits per day while they had only designed the site for a \”generous estimate\” of 1 million per day. It\’ll be back in a week, hopefully sleeker and ready to face its users but until then, it\’s probably more helpful not to provide a link to it here!
