download_prerequisites prohibit some AWS IPs?

Haochen Jiang reports that the download_prerequisites script fails with a 403 Forbidden error when trying to download GMP from gcc.gnu.org while building GCC on AWS. The issue seems to occur only on certain days, leading to the suspicion that some AWS IPs might be temporarily prohibited due to potential bot attacks. This could impact GCC builds performed on AWS infrastructure.
