Have you excluded local factors (proxy servers, firewalls)?  I have not
seen any issues at all with portsnap.  I have done a few fetches today
and haven't seen any problems at all.  This one a few minutes ago
happened to hit portsnap2.  I noticed that one of the earlier ones today
was from portsnap1.
