It turns out that there was something wrong with the local news server, as Bear and I both pointed out to Shaw. They sent me a message saying the problem was with a certain few individuals with "extremely large amounts of bandwidth consumption".
Whatever the problem really was it has been fixed and I can get back to my music.
