That's interesting. It may be that your WP host has a bad reputation and attempts by WP to access some web sites are being blocked by overzealous intrusion-detection software, or perhaps it's as simple as a routing error or intermittant connections.
I have several IDS modules in WP that block sketchy bots, bad/partial/misformed requests, excessive requests coming in from CN, RU, RO, etc. I you have the time to debug, you can try terminal access from the host, curl'ing or wget'ting the URLs, to see if there's some sketchy redirection or something else. ' And sometimes you just have to use the Bulk Actions to dismiss a whole bunch of annoying reposts. GMane, for example, lost a huge portion of their mailing list archives, including a bunch of links to some of my LUG groups. I could use the bulk tools to unlink the whole lot.
