Is suffering from major packetloss (30-50%) which is causing extremely slow access to these servers. It should eventually serve up the data (because of the way TCP/IP works) but the symptoms would be extremely slow network downloads/page loads due to droped packets and ACKs (which have to be re-transmitted). We are aware of the issue and working on it. More update to come when they become available.
