Wes,

   The status line reads, "connecting," and the in-use spinner on the address
bar goes counter-clockwise. For other sites, that lasts a second or two,
then the address bar spinner goes clockwise and the page loads.

   Those steps are what are needed.

   Yep, 140.211.15.75

   Nope, only http.

   Here's more to consider: I went looking for mirror sites; they are located
all over the world in two tiers, 1 and 2. The USA Tier 1 mirror also would
not connect so it would not load. The European Tier 1 and Tier 2 servers in
France, Germany, Italy, and Poland (two of 'em) all instantly popped up 404:
Page not found errors.

   The only mirror I can access is http://grass.mirror.eruditium.org/index.php

   The only recent change here is the minor version upgrade in Firefox, but
Opera and Chromium also will not connect to grass.osgeo.org.

Thanks,

Rich
