That seems large. Is it always around 2000ms or particularly when this fails? I've a satellite connection to a geosynchronous service (Australian NBN SkyMuster) and ping times are generally in the 600ms-700ms range unless things are very bad. >So why am I bothering the list?

I'd start with trying to separate things out a bit. Do you have a log of the image URLs? Is this tied to a specific URL? Do you run a web proxy? Bypass it. If you have a list of the URLs (up to and including the stall) you could run a series of _distinct_ wget or curl commands to fetch the images, and see how they behave. This bypasses persistent connections which might be maintained by a web browser (or a batch fetch of many URLs from a single wget/curl command). Thinking about a persistent connection going sour here. The problem with a persistent connection is that it only takes a single intermediate stateful router to decide to drop the connection state on the floor for things to go bad. Usually you should get a failure and the browser should retry though.
