[thelist] Site never finished loading on Mac

[Erik Mattheis]

I experience this on every NT account I have.

As far as I can tell it's an issue where the server does not close 
the connection (or a router somewhere doesn't) for packets of certain 
lengths when the file is requested by a Mac and goes through a 
particular network ... (you can do a trace route on a Mac with 
Interarchy - File > Trace Route.

Try putting a ton of comments in the html to make the content length 
longer ... force the server to send another packet of a different 
size at the end. This sometimes fixes the issue for me.
