www.hpfanficarchive.com is explicitly blocking the User-Agent FFDL uses.

FFDL normally uses the default User-Agent for python: "Python-urllib/2.7".

We've seen at least one other site block that User-Agent not to stop FFDL, but 
because they where seeing spam attacks using it.

I've sent an email to the hpfanficarchive.com webmaster.  If they say that 
don't mind FFDL, I can work around it.

All adapters, including hpfanficarchive.com, have now changed to use 
User-Agent: FFDL/1.7 which should fix this issue.
