I can't order the Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 ("The Whole Can of Worms") series! When I click on "Download Now," the purchase page times-out. Sad is me.
I'm using Safari on Mac OS 10.5. This wasn't a JavaScript error of any sort, as the actual page that the "Download Now" link-button redirected too timed out. Other games can be purchased successfully.
Edit: I've successfully ordered and am in the process of downloading the game, using Google Chrome on Windows XP SP 2. I know that the actual games are not compatible with Mac OS 10.5, however, I simply tried ordering the game on that platform.
Edit: Browsing around the site on Windows XP SP 2 has revealed that pages will randomly time out, and after a few refreshes they respond O.K.
Thanks for your help! (Rockin' service, by the way.)

I think it's timing out since GOG is now in public beta, probably too many people are browsing site.

As a general rule of thumb, I wouldn't use a beta browser such as Google Chrome when ordering anything online... Google may have a decent reputation, but the browser is still in beta. If you want to trust a beta browser with your money and transactions, then I guess that's your call.
In fact, if you're not experiencing timeouts in any other browser, I'd be inclined to say its a browser issue.
Otherwise, timeouts can also occur sometimes if you're on a coporate LAN... something about IPs changing or being routed through a switch... regardless, on certain sites, it's possible that the session they're trying to keep open may depend on changing information. Again, I've only seen this happen when accessing sites from work, so it may not apply to you.
