Unable to connect to tutorial site

Hello. I tried to go to the tutorial site in order to find some code samples, but every time I go there I get:

Your access to this service has been temporarily limited. Please try again in a few minutes. (HTTP response code 503)

Reason: Fake Google crawler automatically blocked

It seems something to do with "wordfence firewall" and looks like it needs checking on the server-side. I have replicated this error on both my home and work computers, so it's not a client thing.

Anyway, please let me know when this issue has been resolved. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Can you give us a few URL. which page and maybe which of the download link? We will forward to webmaster.

For the time being, we do not see any problem accessing the tutorial.

This is response from our webmaster:

You were probably locked out of your site because you enabled the option to block Fake google crawlers and for some reason your browser is sending a Googlebot user agent i.e. pretending to be Google. This config is usually used by developers who want to see their site as Google sees it.

Advise to disable the option

Ah, okay. I can see that being the case at work, but I'm pretty sure I didn't set that up on the home box. Funny thing, Firefox has the problem, but IE does not. Guess I'll just use IE for the tutorials (bleh). Thanks for the quick response!
