For the last 2 days I'm not able to connect to the board (got internet message "connection problem"). I cleaned up cookies, restarted computer, without success.
A weird thing works, when I do use an anonymous proxy website this works fine and I can fully access the site. Machine is OS Win7 - Browser IE8 64bits. Any idea ?
Connection issue ?

The fact that anonymous proxy works fine should be the tell-all here. An anonymous proxy works by filtering your data packets through a gateway allowing it to conceal your actual IP address and identity information. This is generally done to make browsing experiences more private (harder for them to gather accurate location data, to track you, etc).
If an anonymous proxy solves your problem, your issue is likely to be with your Internet connection in some way--be it your service provider (are you on a business network that may be filtering traffic?), a routing problem outside your service provider, your local network or firewall, etc. Some service providers will filter traffic, or it could simply be a network problem between you/your service provider and Anime-Beta's servers. Try running a trace route the next time the issue persists--you may find a routing problem between you and the site's servers. These sorts of issues generally resolve themselves, unless its filtering on your local network, in which case, it's probably intentional. Since your problem is sporadic, it is more likely to be an issue with an Internet router somewhere between you and Anime-Beta.
Cookies and other offline data do not generally cause connection problems -- they may cause page loading issues or spoof a connection issue, though.

Thanks for technical details and feedback, I honestly have no idea, this is definitively not the internet connection as I do use the same one for business (but encrypted) and private. I only face this issue with Anime Beta, other US sites I use frenquently connect perfectly...
Just hope that'll be fixed soon.
