Try adding www2 to the URL. I found that my connection timed out if it wasn't there, but if I changed the URL to http://www2.friendtest.com/ it connected pretty quickly.
It's probably a load balanced site, and one of the back end machines might be down, or the load balancer itself might be down (and giving it www2.etc.etc lets it bypass the load balancer completely). Also, if you reject cookies, you'll get some load balancing failures that you wouldn't if you didn't.
