Or, if you have broadband at home,  you could remote desktop to your machine at home and surf from there.
Again, if they are tracking your usage, and most moderate sized companies and government based institutions are at this point, this will show up and they will be able to see exactly what you are doing.  They want to insure productivity, and I hate to be a naysayer, but in this economy one has to be really cautious as this info goes into deciding who gets laid off and who doesn't

SSH + VNC = Virtually Undetectable.  Virtually meaning that "they" can still see your traffic connecting to a secure port, but they can't see what the traffic is.  But now we are getting way beyond the issue here. 

It seems to me that I had this same issue once many years ago with a different site.  I'm trying very hard to remember who the culprit was.  I'm thinking that it had something to do with my companies proxy server getting hung up while forwarding the data.  They have since upgraded the proxy and the issue has gone away.  We had the same problem with Yahoo.com more recently.  But that seems to have cleared up as well.  Chances are that there is nothing that you can do from your personal computer to fix the problem. 

I was going to suggest entering the IP address directly, but it appears that this site is hosted using IIS and host headers.  This means that entering the ip address directly gets you no where.  Perhaps the webmaster has some insight.

The only problem with TOR, last I read anyway, was that you are at the mercy of whomever is running the exit computer.  They have full potential to sniff the outgoing traffic.  Therefore you're only secure if they exit is secure.
