Okay, I see that the MA address you mentioned also works for me on my 
default setup in NY.  I'm on IPV4 and still seeing the same issue today.

I first noticed the problem this past Tuesday evening on 7/26 and it 
continued through the present.  Seemed to also happen from New Jersey 
when I tested again a bit today.

One other odd aspect is that direct links to some sub-sections of 
archive.netbsd.org like 
http://archive.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-archive/NetBSD-7.0.1/ still work on 
my normal connection setup from NY, but others like /NetBSD-7.0 do not.

That's fair.  Seemed unusual so I thought I'd ask after a few days.

I will close the thread then and offer to circle back later if anyone 
has a question about the scenario or my setup.


Best,
