Your connection timed out, overloaded, whatever... and you were
blocked. No big deal, except that it was three days.
Usually when this happens it lasts from a few seconds to a few
minutes.
It's like getting a huge file through POP and suddenly the connection
goes funky. The POP box is still locked, waiting for the rest of that
file. It keeps waiting and waiting and waiting - computers are stupid,
remember. Finally it gives up and unlocks the POP box - if you're
lucky.
If you're not, you have to call your ISP to go unlock it for you.

Same deal; you just have to figure out why your 'connection refused'
length is 3 whole days. Egads.
