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.

Have you tested the possibility of MTU blackhole somewhere between you and security.debian.org? I.e. given conventional Ethernet, and normal circumstances, this should work: ping -s 1472 -M dont -c 4 security.debian.org But if something just discards IP packets with MTU 1500 along the way, such ping would fail.

I changed the backports repo from debian.net to uchicago.edu and everything just flows. Now, if I can only find the problem with security.debian.net, which as I understand it, has no trustworthy mirrors

By far the best and fastest Debian mirror I know of. For security, try using http://security.debian.org/ as opposed to .net.
