It's apparently up again, but my problem hasn't gone away.

This is after calling `M-x list-packages` in Emacs. I let it run 
for a few minutes at least, but this was all that tcpdump 
reported.

I have no idea what you can tell from this dump, but do let me 
know if you think it's something on my end.

TIA
