Yea been having a LOT more issues lately with it than I used to. Either Gox is goxing worse than before or theres a problem with the site. I tend to suspect the site as sometimes I get no connection at all.
The WebSocket / socket.io connection is purely client-side, so problems there are entirely between your browser and MtGox.
The only things that come from the server are the depth table and the chart bars data.
Ok cheers. I did change my AV from Avira to Avast recently so I'll check to see if perhaps some sort of webguard is running. Thanks for letting me know.
