But it is just a recipe for the conan package manager, which I was not familiar with (it seems to be used with CMake, but I mostly contribute to GNU packages using autoconf + automake). I see a recent commit to the automake recipe changed it to use mirrors [1]. I'll see if I can suggest that somewhere for other GNU packages as well. It seems like more parts of gnu.org are using blocklists to prevent DDoS/spam like Savannah [2]. Switching the other packages to mirrors would help prevent this problem from occurring to you and others in the future.
