Of course, maybe the fact that my cable is running 3072 kbps this morning has something to do with it.

I believe the site is under an attack from the morons at democratic underground in the form of a couple of those jerk offs openning four or five screens as guests and hitting a "refresh" attack.
If you keep hitting refresh X 5 people you can overload the server pretty quick or at least slow it down to a crawl.
You you can see what forums they are doing it on by which ones won't load or load real slow.
Look at these numbers,

Does ar15.com use a commercial web hosting company, or is it a bunch of boxes in GB's basement?  If the former, I'd be hunting around for somebody else, they don't seem to be doing too good of a job.

Many of those "guests" on the site are web crawlers and spiders that are automated and index the contents for places like Google.  At any given time, roughly 40% of the "visitors" on my web sites are spiders (inktomi) and web crawlers.  If it's causing a problem for bandwidth, GB needs to edit the headers to disallow them (easy to do).
