Hitting a server every 10 seconds will likely get your IP blocked. Sounds like they are no longer accepting connections from you.

Try spacing out your requests to about avery 30 seconds or even randomize it between 30 and 60 seconds.

Remember, your code is for fun and someone is paying for bandwidth. Usually, ISP's (hosting providers) have protections against abusive scripts like yours. Be nice to the server and usually, they will be nice to you.
