Increase your time out, 5 is too low. Follow example here: https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/blob/master/site...
I followed all the instructions, but I'm having no luck. sky.de isn't working. [Warning] Error downloading page: The response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden)
They probably banned your ip, try to increase show delay.
