Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions and comments.
I get similar socket figures to Tony and Druck, so that seems OK.
Memory also seems fine -- 512MB machine, no Aemulor running, 400MB
free. DA usage seems normal.
I'm using the current NS (r4376, 17 Jun). I've double-checked that I'm
using the correct NS modules. I've set all NS's memory, cache and
connection settings to their defaults, then tried increasing them.
I've tried using a proxy server, to no effect.
All I can add is that I get "Connection time-out" messages when it
starts going wrong.
I'm mystified by this. I do actually need to use this specific site
too, so I can't just shrug my shoulders and go elsewhere :-/
Is there anything else that could possibly cause this to happen?
Router settings, perhaps? Something to do with the ISP? (It's a Virgin
4Mbit cable connection, with no history of other problems. Well, apart
from being Virgin, of course ;-) )
Thanks again for the help, anyway!
Best, Chris
