The url is strange. The @ used to be used to indicate a username/password on the website but that has been abandoned because people used it poorly (exposing passwords and such).

Check and see if the url you have entered is the official url for the website you mean to list.

Why didn't I see that? The problem was the @. Removed and now fixed, thanks
