All those links work fine with telnet 80.
E.g. to get a better symptom description by partially simulating
the first request that IE makes enter (assuming OS is NTx)
in a cmd window:
telnet www.uk-therasmus.tk 80
If there is connection the screen will clear and you will get a chance
to type (but not be able to see your typing). So Enter GET
(That's GET plus a space.) Then enter (or paste) the complete URL
(including protocol prefix) and press Enter.
Tip: before switching to the cmd window you could right-click, Copy Shortcut
that link, e.g. to ensure that you have a complete URL including protocol
prefix. Then instead of typing the above command you could build it
in the command line by typing telnet 80 then pasting the URL in between
it and editing out (e.g. using Backspace, Cursor, Delete) the unwanted bits.
Then having the URL in the ClipBoard makes it available to you when you
need it to paste after the GET <space> where you can't see what you're
doing.
Anyway, see how much of the page you get doing that.
It's a fairly big page; so it's possible that you will see it
truncated and if so, that would explain your symptom.
Since you have two cases, one with a problem symptom
and one without you should be able to generate two
different results to compare between and report any
significant differences. You only really need to see
where each display ends but if you want to capture
the whole thing for deeper analysis you could use
telnet's -f switch for that.
If you do see such a difference try the MTU check
described here as a further diagnostic.

Fortunately, the site allows ICMP (e.g. ping -n 1)
so that test should work with it.
Good luck
