We get a lot of abusive traffic on the gcc.gnu.org server which causes
performance problems for genuine users of the services. Sometimes
entire IP ranges need to be blocked to prevent crawlers from causing
big problems. If your IP is in the same range as a crawler that is
abusing our systems, then you will be unable to reach the site.

The site admins might be able to adjust the firewall rules so you
aren't affected, however your email signature suggests you're using
TOR and if you are using an exit node that is also the source of
abusive traffic, you might be out of luck.
