interesting networking problem

[Domain name and IP addresses changed.]

So there is a website, example.org, that I am trying to connect to.

I can connect to this site (via http) *very* intermittently. If I run wget
example.org, I get the page exactly, once, but if I run the same command
immediately after, I get connection reset errors, e.g.:

$ wget example.org
--09:54:48--  http://example.org/
   = `index.html'
Resolving example.org... 192.168.1.5
Connecting to example.org|192.168.1.5|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: unspecified [text/html]

[  =] 
19,83052.46K/s

09:54:48 (52.39 KB/s) - `index.html' saved [19830]

$ wget example.org
--09:54:49--  http://example.org/
   = `index.html.1'
Resolving example.org... 192.168.1.5
Connecting to example.org|192.168.1.5|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... Read error (Connection reset by 
peer) in headers.
Retrying.

--09:54:53--  http://example.org/
  (try: 2) = `index.html.1'
Connecting to example.org|192.168.1.5|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... Read error (Connection reset by 
peer) in headers.
Retrying.
^C

If I wait couple of minutes and try again, the same thing happens...

Normally I would write the whole thing off as a problem on their side,
but I have access to other machines on different networks and in
different cities and they both seem to have no problems accessing this
page. In addition, I had a brief chat with someone on their side and
they said they are not aware of any errors like this with anyone else
who tries to connect to them.

(They apparently block pings at the firewall -- I cannot ping them from
any machine.)

How can I debug this further?

thanks,
Thomas

Why don't you look at the http headers and see
what's happening?

Here they are. I'm not a web guru, so I don't really see anything out of
the ordinary:
