Web Source Dataflow constantly failing

Hello All,

 

I have a dataflow that connects to the web to pull in the currency table from https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD

 
Using Web.BrowserContents("https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD")
 
The problem is, it constantly fails (7 times out of 10) with zero detail as to why. I tested by creating a new data flow and adding it as a source, and it initially works and brings in the table - but upon refreshing (manual or scheduled) it fails quite often.
 
Any ideas? There is a popup window when browsing to that web page, but I am confident this is not causing the issue.
