Ah, that behavior is intentional.  I'm limited the number of
consecutive connections an IP address can make over the course of a
minute (currently set to five connects per minute per IP).  We also
have a "global" limit of ten simulateous connections at any given
time.  Additional connections will be dropped.

This is all largely temporary until I can shuffle the resources around
a bit more (we're swapping out one of our machines soon for a
rebuild).
