Ive noticed a couple other sites do this too. They freeze up loading unless I have my VPN on.

What country are you in? Some countries (I believe the UK is one as an example) have started requiring ISPs to block copyright infringing sites including this one. Other ISPs, especially ones owned by parent companies that also own recording industry companies, have also started blocking sites on their own in places thst don't have net neutrality laws such as the US.
