No problems on my end. They both serve their images from the same resource:
a.fsdn.com - which at least for me goes to an Akamai CDN machine. Maybe we
don't share the same Akamai node. I am sent to e872.g.akamaiedge.net at the
moment, which, like I said, works fine. See if you go to a different one
('nslookup a.fsdn.com' would do the trick...).

If you do go to a different Akamai node, try sticking 92.122.131.172
a.fsdn.com to your /etc/hosts and see if helps.
