There is a DoS protection set in place to prevent issue like the
recent one that slowed down ATrpms to a crawl.

If there are more than 30 or so simultaneous connections from the same
IP it usually means trouble for the rest of the world, so these IPs
get blacklisted for a short while. Maybe you fire up too many updates
on too many systems at once fro behind a NAT? Then perhaps a web proxy
or even a local mirror would be of help. Or you just put some time
delay between the update calls, e.g. serializing the updates.

If that's not the case, please send me you IP and the approximate time
when this happened, so I can check the logs (time is best sent in date
+%s format).
