This means that Screaming Frog is not 'waiting long enough' before returning the time-out error.

Just do this:

2. https://d.pr/i/N6xdLA.png (screenshot)

Raise that number up, until you don't get 0 / Time Out any more. Note that if it does fail a lot on moderate crawl settings, there are likely to be underlying page-speed issues (either that or the machine you are crawling from has bad bandwidth)

It could also be that your crawl ' frequency' is too high, go Configuration->Speed and lower the thread count (to 2-3) and the URI/s (to one or two)

Finally it might be that the SF user-agent is blocked so go Configuration->User Agent and switch it to Chrome

**To help you **- I did the crawl for you, here is your crawl data: https://d.pr/f/a1ux4b.zip (archive of crawl file and some exports)

You can actually use my crawl file as a starting point (by double clicking it) when you want to re-crawl in future. Should be useful to you
