very occassionally, i get a similar problem. i can't access certain pages, that i once could. (getting the same standard timed out error as you carl) I can still access many other pages, but it seems that there is one or two that get a timed out message.
I'm assuming that it is some sort of "blockage" down the line somewhere, traffic on their sight is a bit to high to get through, and/or their server is down for some reason.. But it seldom lasts longer than a few hours. (certainly never a week)
in Boston, this happened quite frequently. I've been told that it was because there was one single network connection that ran through NYC, so if there was any problems along that connection, all of New England got cut off.
