Just wanted to follow-up on this issue.  I was actively using it every
day to fetch the .COM and .NET TLD zone files.  Sent multiple emails to
tldzone at verisign-grs.com with no response.  Finally reached out to them
via chat and was informed that I needed to execute a new zone file
access agreement because they needed updated information for me.  New
agreement has been submitted so we will see what they say this time.  If
anyone else is still having problems then you probably need to do the same.
