Unable to access any source downloads from python.org

Bug report

Bug description:

We regularly download source distributions from python.org/ftp to initialize clusters with and all the sudden we're seeing Access Denied errors. All the links from https://www.python.org/downloads/ seem to lead to python.org/ftp, which all give Access Denied errors. This seems like quite a big deal, I'm sure I'm not the only one expecting to be able to pull these distributions.

First seen around 11/26/2024 21:53 pm UTC

CPython versions tested on:

3.13
3.10

Operating systems tested on:

macOS

I am able to download source tarballs again. US west.

[Yadan-Wei]

I am able to download 3.9.20 too.

[zyd14]

I'm able to pull downloads again too for 3.10 and 3.13. I'll close this since it seems to be fixed

I am out today but from what I can (loosely) gather it was due to a DDOS issue
