I have had the same problem with downloading logos recently. I also tried following in web browser with the same result.
I followed ppic's advice and did a tracert and found the following:
Then I tested access to fanart.tv from a server in the US and I got access . I also tried the link to the API page quoted a few pages back using the US server and received an XML response.
It seems like one of the routers along the way does not return traffic to me when accessing the fanart.tv site. I have bypassed the routing issue by using the server in the US as a proxy for now and this seems to work for me.
Hope this helps someone else.
Whew what a mouthful for my first post!
