Running Wheezy.  Recently, update has been hanging on 
http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main and 
http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main.  The other repos 
at uchicago.edu  breeze through, but the two above just sit there 
waiting -- waiting -- waiting  until they finally connect.  I tried 
the redirector - http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports 
main - same hang.  Also, trying to get to the Debian irc at Freenode 
just sits there for a few minutes before connecting.  I can ping these 
sites without a hitch and traceroute shows nothing amiss.  I edited 
resolv.conf to a new DNS server, but nada.  Any  advice, pointers, 
work-arounds, etc. appreciated.
