Anybody else having issues with wikipedia recently? For the past few days its been loading very slowly and a good third of connection attempts end up timing out (I've not had issues with any other sites).
In this world there is a pie
A pie where topics go to die
And when they die they leave this place
The twisted world of the human race

What ISP are you using? Wikipedia's been fine for me - however, last week there was the issue with various ISPs censoring Wikipedia, which basically involved them sending all traffic bound for Wikipedia through a single server. Most ISPs have removed the block, but some may not have, so if your ISP happens to be one of those still filtering, that could explain the slowness.
