I've made an
FAQ for this issue. It says:

Why am I having errors downloading from fanfiction.net?
The site fanfiction.net has apparently implemented a throttling system that blocks requests from users who make too many hits to their servers. The value of 'too many' is not known, but appears to be around 12-15 downloads in short period of time.
Adding slow_down_sleep_time in your personal.ini for fanfiction.net can help keep you from being blocked at the expensive of slower downloads. We don't know anyway to get unblocked but to wait.
Code:
[fanfiction.net]
slow_down_sleep_time:2

Switching networks probably got you around the blocking, then you did a big stack of updates again and got throttled on the new network, too.
