I'm thinking maybe they've put in some anti-scanning check, to try to stop me
getting data for my instruction download page:
http://www.br-eng.info/words/?page_id=29 and said check is blocking a large
number of Australian IPs. My ISP is Primus, and as my IP changes every day or
so, they may have blocked a large chunk of IPs. At least 2 other Aussies so far
have said they are experiencing the same problem.
But I could be wrong.

(PS: Their page does not list all instructions available, mine does (well up
until I started getting the error). Search for 10143, you will find it is there,
but you won't be able to download it because of the error.)
