Opening anything takes over 30 sec, sending a post takes over 60 sec, and after the post is received, I get the "this page cannot be displayed" notice.

it is 13:15gmt, I have a decent machine, and a 3meg dl, and a 512K ul that usually run at about 60% of rated speed.

Edited to state:

This post went in quickly, and returned me to the correct place.
