Links to web pages that work well are marked invalid by the link checking cron. I wonder whether pages that take too long to come up might be marked invalid.
Anyone have any ideas?

Yes,
If there is a delay in fetching, this will happen. Are you behind a firewall? If yes, you will need the curl based linkchecker from teh contributions.

Yes I am behind a firewall, but some of the affected links are also behind the same firewall. I will try curl based link checking. Thank you.

I solved the problem. I changed the timeout value for the URL checking.
1 Open the linkcheck.php file in the cronjobs folder. 2 Find the line: $fp = @fopen( $url, "r");3 Put this line before it: stream_set_timeout($fp, 15);
The 15 is for a fifteen second timeout. It can be increased or decreased, of course.
