It's crazy how abuse load changes quickly.  Systems can go from being
responsive to being offline in a few minutes after an AI scraper
botnet cranks up.  Connection timing out /might/ have been due to
being overloaded causing the machine just not to be able to respond.
That's a typical pattern.

Or it might be that an entire ASN address block was banned due to an
ISP being abusive.  It's hard to know sometimes.  We have automated a
lot of this anti-abuse mitigation.  Almost all of the automated
address bans have a timeout and will eventually reset.  Manual ones
from people sometimes don't have a timeout though.

I also was able to run that command and download the file with no
trouble just now.  If this is persistent for you then please send us
your IP address to [email protected] and we will dig
into it further.
