Unfortunately, you don't mention your IP address.

snapshot is currently not great about dealing with lots of requests, so
clients that ask it lots of things repeatedly bring it down, breaking it
for everybody.  It's not a normal webserver serving static things from a
filesystem.  It's more involved to deal with all the data.

As such, we block clients that appear abusive and take snapshot down
for everyone.  Some blocks are manual, some automatic.

Building CDs or repeatedly building CI images is probably not something
that snapshot can deal with at the moment.
