This error pretty clearly states what's wrong--the archiveofourown.org servers didn't respond to one of the requests. Their servers get overloaded sometimes.
FFDL does retry a few times on error, so when you see this your options are pretty much limited to 'try again later' or 'download their epub from the site'.
