pkg having trouble getting package list

Hello; as part of our installation we use the (rather outdated) Hibernate
add-on, which we install by way of the bundled pkg software.

Lately we've noticed we get this error when we run pkg (when we're first
setting up a new GlassFish installation):

Connection failed for URL http://pkg.glassfish.org/v3/stable/catalog/0:
503: Service Temporarily Unavailable


In these cases we are able to browse to this URL using a browser and can
see the list of packages.

Has something changed with pkg.glassfish.org such that it would return 503
for the pkg client, but not for a web browser?

Best,
Laird
