It would help a lot if you could let us know if there are particular percentages showing on the refresh bar when the loading stalls - e.g. 11%.
Sadly it takes a while to convice Danny there is ever a generic problem for PC users. He wouldn't allow a PC through his portals to save his life. The site runs perfectly on his Mac.
I'm having exactly the same problems as you report and now instinctively lash out for the refresh button. I have to assume most of the time it's my heavily abused system - 7 windows open at once - causing problems such as this so I really do appreciate your reports.
