There's a problem with their network setup which means that some people will see the website load too slowly. The same problem creates extra traffic which might be putting unnecessary load on their servers.
I've tried emailing them but didn't get any replies. If anyone from TR reads this, feel free to email me for details.

Yeah, it depends on your computer's/router's settings
Basically a TCP option (window scaling) causes a packet storm. I can turn it off, the problem is that for every user that triggers this and fails to notice the packet storm, it creates needless traffic on their servers.

Oh, and it looks like Vista's default settings might trigger it
