Anyone else having Aerial download trouble?

I am using the 3.81 and I can't seem to download ANY aerial maps. Are the servers acting up or something? I can download Topo maps but not any of the Aerials, they just time out. Is there a new aerial server now? I tried both Open Aerial and Color.

I have been seeing issues with regular Color Aerials, but Open Aerial has been working very quickly throughout.

It's weird because I am getting time outs on Both, Even FAR out tiles are not loading like the server isn't there? When viewing half the country something should load.lol so it shouldnt be just my area.

I do have my old maps from 2011 but updating to 2013 would have been nice, every 2 years they update the aerials here. Google Maps is already showing the updated aerials.

Just to double check, you have 4.81, not 3.81, right?  (I am almost sure).

Can you give a coordinate for where you are looking?  Open Aerial continues to be bomber for me, including east coast.  Color is slow and a little flakey, but still working.

Sorry for the delay in response. The servers seem to be working fine now.

It's a shame we can't do batch downloads for Open Aerial it's a really fast server, though they are a little behind on updating their server, I notice Google Earth already has the tiles from 2013 and Open Aerial is still on 2011.
