I realize this is a heck of a way to try and diagnose a problem, but...

If after the link either fails or refuses to finish (basically sits continually waiting for a response from a server), have you tried a hard-refresh?

Yes.  No different results.  Continues to hang/no response.

Interestingly, if I use a proxy, I can connect.  Though the proxy I use strips down a lot of the site for privacy reasons.
