1) C:\Windows\System32\drivers\hosts

open the HOSTS file with notepad and chk if there is any entried added related to those sites u mentioned

2) change ur DNS to 8.8.8.8 , if u was using opendns there is a provition to custum block sites , so try accessing those site with DNS 8.8.8.8 )google dns)

3) are u the admin of the pc?

I wonder what are you trying to download :D
Could be ISP Block (If reliance, they block those sites before a movie launch which they have financed, to curb piracy)

It is due to DNS problem. Do not use their DNS. Use google public DNS or Open DNS.
