From here (http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/can_detail/P80003338/) at FEC.gov, it shows you the information for “Contributions Made by This Candidate’s Committees” and “Committees Who Gave to This Candidate,” but it won’t show you any information for “Individuals Who Gave to This Candidate.” After a couple minutes of waiting, you’ll be presented with the page, “Failed to open page.”

It's been this way as early as July 2009.

It does show you which individuals gave to John McCain (http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/can_ind/P80002801).

Hmm, well, it's either a temporary glitch of some sort or it's intentional. I'll guess we'll know in a day or two.

As mentioned, it's been a problem since at least July 2009. Sure, one could excuse temporarily not having the information for a write-in candidate from Wyoming, but the current President?

All individual donor queries (McCain included) return a blank page for me after ~ a 2 minute wait.
