I run Wheezy (64-bit) on a box I built 10 years ago, but upgraded some over the years, and I encounter the same problems. I've discovered that the problem sites are just looking for something that's not available under Wheezy resulting in a continuous busy pointer. It could be a Windows file, dll, etc that's being looked for or a newer version of a Linux file, library, etc. In most cases, if I run Stretch or Windows XP in VirtualBox, everything works fine. So, it's not the hardware. I fear the only solution is upgrading your OS, etc., etc., but that's probably not a viable option with your hardware. B
