I can load the same pages on my Win95 laptop with no problem with the same
ISP, so it appears to be Linux somehow that is doing this.
I had a similar problem a couple of months ago (just after upgrading the
kernel to 2.2.x). Some file just could not be downloaded using linux but
worked fine using windows. Sometimes a file transfer (ftp) would stop
cold, but other things (like e-mail downloads) would still continue. After
trying just about everything, the problem went away when I lowered the
modem speed in the ppp options file to 57600.
