Image loading problem...

Hi! I'm having a problem, and I think I'm loosing my mind....

I developed a shopping cart for a florist a few months ago, and it is sproadically geeking on me....

What happens is from time to time, when a floral product image is loading, it looks like IE loads about 1/2 of the pick, then it STOPS!! When I hit refresh, the whole pic loads, no problem.

There is no rhyme or reason why this happens. I can never recreate it once it happens. And it seems to happen more on a very fast connection.

What could this be?? I've validated my HTML, and I've got a few warnings, but nothing serious...

can you give a url?

i have no idea, but here's a stab in the dark. sounds like a bad host to
me. The description of behavior is that of a web server totally
overloaded.

Sorry if I'm offbase here, but I had this happen to me on my very first
host long ago. Turned out, I was 1 of 300 sites on one box.

Noooo....I think you may be right!! The client insisted on hosting with a "friend". This is not a real hosting company. This is a "guy with a server" hosting company.

I thought about asking them about this problem, but I wasn't even sure what to ask him. And this guy gets very defensive every time I have even asked him anything...I don't think he knows what he's doing...

What would you suggest?

THX!

And here's a screenshot of the problem that has been happening sporadically: http://www.botanybayflorist.com/problemPic.jpg

See how the pic loads 1/2 and stops. That's so weird!!

It could just be your ISP?
