What server is hosting the data? I think I remember someone running an instance of JS IPFS completely in their browser, and other other tabs not being able to connect. Let me know if that’s the scenario.

How are you attempting to load it in another tab? If you’re trying to use a gateway, it might be faster to first advertise the CID to a go-ipfs node that you host, and then have that node perform an `add` on the CID. This will propagate it to the gateway nodes much faster (assuming the `go-ipfs` node is configured correctly and peering well).
