> Now that the new NLS BARD web site has been launched, we're asking again 
> that users exercise restraint in downloading, especially during the 
> critical first weeks of operation of the new site.
>
> We are experiencing an enormous load on the system at the current time. 
> This load is far higher than is to be expected based on a single day 
> without service or any pent-up demand remaining from the pilot site's 
> thirty-item limit.
>
> Please remember that there is no need to download more than what you can 
> reasonably consume.  The site will be available at all times, and no 
> materials will be removed.  Please download only what you need.
>
> As before, questions and comments should be sent to NLSDownload at loc.gov. 
> Send questions or requests about the book and magazine collection to your 
> library.
