Unfortunately, a lot of websites get reported as broken because LinkAce is not a real human with a browser checking if the website is available. These websites usually block anything that is "automated". And there is basically nothing I can do about that. Sorry.

@Kovah I am not sure I understand you. I checked this URL using curl from a Linux machine, and I am getting response code 200 and the page content without any problem. So why do you say this site blocks anything automated?

Because Curl is not LinkAce. It uses its own library which checks the site and may be detected as automated by the website. If you have issues, please contact the website owner.

I forgot to add a small thing you can try to resolve this. https://github.com/Kovah/LinkAce/issues/465#issuecomment-1117141421
