So here I am doing some last minute surfing before I go to bed and one of the websites I'm trying to go to will not come up. I figure it must be down, whatever. I go to the next site I wanted to go to, it comes up fine. The one after that, however, does not. What the? So I pick one of my bookmarks folders and hit "Open in tabs." Half of the sites load, the other half doesn't. Does this mean something like a major hub is down, or what? I'm not complaining so much about the sites being down, I'll just visit them tommorrow. It's just I've never seen this before.

Everything looks ok, it may be your ISP.

Looks like there are a few issues here and there with lower Tier ISPs.

That sometimes happens to me as well. When it does, I go to the control panel, network settings, rightclick my internetconnection and choose 'repair'. Does the trick for me most of the time.

wow, the repair actually does something?

Yeah, it fixes my connection when I'm having problems accessing sites.
