It might have been some connection error .. I get that sometimes too ..

btw .. sometimes DNS resolution might mess up if your router/computer
are using IPv6 on a IPv4 network ..(all DNS resolves to 1.0.0.0) ..
disabling IPv6 and setting the nameserver to your ISP nameserver IP
instead of the router's IP helps ..
