The government site hosting the newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein case files had one job.
Unfortunately, PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) couldn't withhold the strain of demand for the documents mentioning figures like Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Stephen Hawking in relation to Jeffrey Epstein. According to Vice, the PACER site crashed soon after the documents containing flight logs, un-redacted testimony, and incriminating details about Epstein's relationships to several household names were uploaded.

But within minutes, the site had crashed.
The PACER site is notoriously antiquated and buggy. Most people don't have to deal with the tedious and overly complicated platform on a regular basis. But this is one of the most high profile cases in recent history, which suddenly put PACER in the spotlight. PACER is evidently in desperate need of a site overhaul, but the crash also underscores the immense demand for details about Epstein's black book and high profile figures complicit in his dealings.
Luckily, some people were quick enough to download the documents before the site crashed, so there are many places where you can view the 900 pages of case documents. However, it's not a great look for digital age democracy.
You can read and download the documents for free through sites like PlainSite and 404 Media. But to access them on PACER you have to pay 10 cents a page. That's right, PACER charges you to access public records.
The site seems to be back up, but what's the point when you can get them elsewhere for free?
