Hello Stian
Thanks for your answer, and the nice words about our site.

I did try to run Curl. I understood, from the description, that it is included in Windows, but it did not return anything, and I’am not normally working in that field. And I was unsure which version, I should use. So I dropped it.

We have at least 2 sites making troubles, an maybee a few others:

https://davidharvey.org – I think we have around 2 links, it is pretty easy to work around.
https://solidaritet.dk – It is at very central portal in Denmark, and we link to a lot of posts.
They both a status in Dead Link Checker saying “Timeout”

We are in contact with the people working on Solidaritet, so if we knew what they should change in their system it would be nice.

Actually it is not only Amazon that is a problem. I’m maintaining the site https://socbib.dk/
that is a Danish library site, making link collections on subject and persons. So we have a lot of links and are very happy about the Broken Link Checher, exept for the problem about “false positives”. We have several sites that we must define as working.

For that to work, we have to work around it, telling the plugin, not to check again in 3 month – else it will be registeret as broken the next day.

We hope that there can be a solution to this, as one of our most used sources for links is a new Danish newsportal for the left.
