Weird issue here - our company does third party patching for enterprise customers, Mozilla products are included.

We recently were testing performance optimization with our URL validation tool using HTTP HEAD requests - we are aware the Mozilla server has a lower concurrency limit and were trying to see what the limit was. We believe the concurrent connections is 2 per IP address but now we have gotten our office IP address blacklisted from connecting to ftp.mozilla.org.

We have fixed this issue and I'm looking for a way to contact someone at Mozilla to have our IP address whitelisted or if someone could contact me so I can give them our details.

Thanks.

You can try a CDN like http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/ as the ftp.mozilla.org is not mirrored or load balanced.

There used to be releases.mozilla.org where mirrors were used however it has since changed to CDN for over two years now.
