Can you send me a traceroute? A tcpdump or packet sniff from wireshark
would be even better.
We've had an intermittent problem with some british ISPs blocking
delicious.

Further to this, the message I get in the browser is:
"Safari can't open the page "http://del.icio.us/" because the server
unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the
server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
So I tried traceroute and after about 24 hops to a yahoo server it just
spins its wheels, with lots of * * * of silent gateways.
It's also not working from my work domain, so I'll do a traceroute from
there and see if there's any clues from that.
It is a real disappointment not to have the sort of regular access to
del.icio.us which I was used to.
