I did; I even added port 8080.
But as I explained, the picture does appear after a very long delay.
And I get a message (with Firefox) that data is being downloaded.
Surely that could not happen if my firewall was involved?

Incidentally, it did seem from ifconfig that data was being transferred,
although I am not certain it was from the site in question.
