I'm not sure but it seems that scribblehub has raised its Cloudflare security against bots. I can now download an update stories from this site with the following options in personal.ini:

Code:
[www.scribblehub.com]


## Using cloudscraper can satisfy the first couple levels of
## Cloudflare bot-proofing, but not all levels.  Older versions of
## OpenSSL will also raise problems, so versions of Calibre older than
## v5 will probably fail.  Only a few sites are configured with
## use_cloudscraper:true by default, but it can be applied in other
## sites' ini sections.  user_agent setting is ignored when
## use_cloudscrape
use_cloudscraper:true

## number of seconds to sleep between calls to the story site.  May be
## useful if pulling large numbers of stories or if the site is slow.
## The actual sleep time used on each request is a random number
## between 0.5 and 1.5 times slow_down_sleep_time.
slow_down_sleep_time:5
use_cloudscraper it's working for me now.

slow_down_sleep_time may not be necessary, but I put it just in case to not be flagged as a bot for the site if there is a lot of stories to update.
