BTW, please let John know that for some period during the slowness today, the DNS server responsible for freerepublic.com seemed to go non-responsive for bits of time and was un-pingable/dropping packets also. DNS Lookups on FR's DNS Server seemed to lag pretty badly.
From here I can't tell if that's the DNS Server itself, or something else like a router or switch in front of it. I don't know what your network setup and connectivity looks like so I'm just guessing here.
