forever21.com(i know, don't ask, students),
store.apple.com would consistently take forever to come up.

Just wanted to check of rate-limiting web clients is a common practice
nowdays in the industry. If it's not, it's probably an unlikely cause of my
troubles...
It could be that the problem sites have some form of load balancer that has an issue keeping state on multiple sessions from the same IP.

You mentioned that changing the source IP fixed it. Is this a temporary fix that breaks after several users access the sites from the new IP?
