Is this just an isolated issue or something pretty usual?

Great hack, thanks so much

There are some urls that do work fine but do not respond to LDM's validation check. This is because the site has blocked the use of the piece of code that is used to validate the link. Sometimes, if you use the cURL interface rather than the fopen() interface, it works better - if you don't understand this, then perhaps not worth trying, but if you do understand, then check to see if your php installation includes the curl library.
