I too, am having the same problem with my hosting at GoDaddy. load-scripts.php won’t load, AND ftp uploads fail with a “Connection timed out” error or simply do not finish at all. I don’t know what these two problems have in common, but they seem to happen at the same time.

Here’s a few things to point out:

• I’m not using Windows 10 as most of you are. I am using Linux Mint 17.2.
• When ftp uploads fail, they usually fail for all files except those with very small sizes. Very small files upload fine. I think the threshold is approximately 1 Kb.
• This happens on my laptop, which I use regularly in two different locations, which are served by different ISPs. I only have problems in one of the two locations (both the load-scripts.php problem and the FTP problem, which as I said seem to go together). So it looks like either an ISP, networking or firewall issue. I don’t know enough about networking to pinpoint the problem more precisely.
• In the past I confirmed that the problem with load-scripts.php happens only when the URL (query string included) reaches a certain length. I used Firebug to copy the URL of load-scripts.php. It was https://mysite.com/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=hoverIntent,common,admin-bar,jquery-ui-widget, ... wp-color-picker&ver=4.5.3 being around 560 characters in total. I pasted this URL in my browser address bar and it kept loading forever (so the same problem that prevents the admin page from loading completelly). If I trimmed the content of the load parameters, down to about 470 characters for the full URL, then the browser loaded it. It didn’t matter if I trimmed it from the beginning or the end, so it doesn’t seem to be a problem with a particular parameter.
