Try turning of HTTP proxy server in netscape,

When you run netscape with a proxy server, all requests go to demon 
first (to check whether the information has been cached,) the problem 
appears to be that demon proxy is getting overloaded.

It is quicker to access the remote web server than to access demon's 
proxy at the moment


In Netscape, Select options, preferences, proxies,
 delete 'www.demon.co.uk'
