ping works, but curl hangs

I have faced strange networking problem with my home network. After boot everything works fine. But sometimes, after 20-40 hours, some sites become unreachable. ping, tracepath and traceroute work correctly and show the same result as when everything is ok. But curl hangs. I have tried restarting network service:

systemctl restart netctl@home

and restarting network kernel module r8169. But only system reboot helps.

I'm using the following netctl configuration:

Description='Home static ethernet connection'
Interface=eth0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.1.101/24')
Gateway='192.168.1.1'

without iptables.

Re: ping works, but curl hangs

Are you using exactly the same server for both ping and curl, and using exactly the same method of referring to it (IP address, domain name, ...)?
